Update - Corrected website address typo below. Oops!!!
The Nature Discovery Center (7112 Newcastle, Bellaire, TX 77401) will be holding its 17th Annual Pumpkin Patch on Saturday and Sunday, October 9 & 10 from 11 am to 4 pm both days - rain or shine. I know that several Nesties/Bumpies have attended in the past, and I wanted to give you all a head's up that this year's event was next weekend.
The front yard of the Center will be covered with pumpkins and Russ Pitman Park will be filled with festival games, activities, crafts, and vendors (food, jewelry, toys, books, etc.). Special activities featured at the event include horse drawn wagon rides in the neighborhood, a rock climbing wall, a 65-foot obstacle course, a rope bridge, and tombstone painting. There is a small toddler zone at the event as well.
Admission to the festival is free, but tickets are required for food, games and activities. Pumpkins will be sold for cash or tickets. Pumpkin Passes, available for purchase at the event, save you money and eliminate the need to keep track of tickets while you enjoy the event. Proceeds will directly impact the science and nature based educational programming the Center offers to children, families, and schools throughout the year.

Yes, I work for the Center, and I will remove this if it causes problems ... but it is a small non-profit nature center that has free discovery rooms, and offers science and nature based educational programs fror children, adults, teachers, etc. so I didn't think you all would mind me posting about the event here.
