pumpkins

Have you ever been to Pumpkin Nights in Dallas, Texas? Now through the end of this month, the magic of the fall season comes alive with 5,000 hand-carved and artificial glowing pumpkins with tons of lights.

This a way's off but make plans now to attend the Fall Crafting a Pumpkin event coming up on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at the Ace of Clubs Carriage House.

It's about that time again for Noble Oaks Farm 2020 Fall Festival Sept. 26 - Oct. 31. This family-owned farm in Texarkana has been entertaining guests and kids of all ages for years.

Did you know that pumpkins are packed full of beta-carotene, an antioxidant known to help prevent cancer from forming?  In honor of those cancer-fighting powers and the fall season, HealthCARE Express has created a mini pumpkin patch outside of their clinic.

The time to put those fall festivals in your calendar has arrived. So where are we going this year?

A pumpkin is a pumpkin... right? Wrong.

Halloween is less than a week away so now is the perfect time to get that pumpkin because it'll be time to carve it this weekend. But where is the best place in town to get your pumpkin?

Every year a lot of us buy a pumpkin then practice our carving talents for Halloween night. Have you ever wondered why we carve pumpkins and better yet why we call them Jack-O-Lanterns?

It is Fall Festival time on Thursday in Spring Lake Park! The City of Texarkana, Texas Parks & Recreation Department will present their annual Fall Festival at Spring Lake Park with games, costume contests, bouncy houses, hayrides, pumpkin decorating and more!

With over 40 varieties of pumpkins the Halloween Superstore on 7th Street in Texarkana, Texas is a great place to find the perfect pumpkin.

Every fall, it seems like I am always scrambling to find other uses for fresh pumpkin. Since you're likely in the same boat, I decided to share seven recipes featuring pumpkin besides pie. (Although I am going to feature a spectacular bonus recipe at the end of this post!) I hope you enjoy these new ideas that are bound to make your autumn a little more tasty. Bon appétit!

How cool is this? A flaming pumpkin!
