Linus: Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He’s gotta pick this one. He’s got to. I don’t see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there’s not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see…

Let the Pumpkin Scarecrow lead the way when heading to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau (UUCCN) at the corner of Nassau Boulevard and Stewart Avenue. Throughout the month of October, the grounds will be covered with pumpkins from the Navajo reservation in New Mexico, which tend to last longer than those grown in the eastern United States. The sale is open daily from 11am to 7pm through Halloween on October 31st.

Close to 6,000 pumpkins in various shapes and sizes were delivered, as well as some variety pumpkins, gourds and decorative corn. Bring friends and family and enjoy some of the congregation’s homemade baked goods available for purchase—including homemade apple pies available on Sundays baked fresh from the oven! Admission is FREE and you are welcome to take pictures and wander through the patch in search of your Great Pumpkin…

Happy Halloween! For more info head to: https://www.facebook.com/UUCCN/timeline?ref=page_internal

On Saturday October 18th, UUCCN will also host a special benefit for The Water Project, which helps bring relief to communities around the world that lack access to clean water and proper sanitation. Entertainment includes jazz/country/rock/French cabaret violinist Bob Mastro, Folk Goddess Martha Trachtenberg, composer and musical director Michael Sansonia and local favorite Mason Sansonia. The $25 cover charge includes a gourmet dinner served right after the performance. For reservations and info email: UUCCNconcertTIX@nullaol.com
