Five Places to Go For Pumpkins In and Around Town

We all like pumpkins for fall. Here's where to get them (and beware of low pumpkin numbers due to blight!).

Program Manager Kevin Meehan said that pumpkin patches have been affected by a pumpkin blight this year. Get yours while they last!

  • Young’s Nursery 211 Danbury Road in Wilton. While there how about picking up some mums too?
  • Stop & Shop 5 River Road in Wilton. Get your pumpkin while checking off those items on your grocery list. Done and done!
  • The Village Market 108 Old Ridgefield Road in Wilton. Don’t feel like cooking tonight? Surprise the family on your way home with pre-made cuisine that you don’t have to slave over and a pumpkin. The time it would have taken you to make dinner you can now spend with the kids painting the pumpkin.

However, If going to a pumpkin patch is more your style, these two farms have been popular fall sites for years:

  • Silverman’s Farm 451 Sport Hill Road in Easton. Guess the weight of your pumpkin and it’s yours for free.
  • Warrup’s Farm 11 John Read Road in Redding. It’s not autumn until you take a hay ride. Get out there and enjoy this colorful season!

You miss the DAZE of George W?, failing banks, auto industry going under, record high homeRead More forclosures and unemployment, etc etc. Obama is getting it right! BOSTON (Reuters) - The average 401(k) retirement balance for U.S. workers hit a record high of $80,900 in the first quarter, a growth spurt of 75 percent since the stock market's nadir in March 2009, Fidelity Investments said on Thursday based on a survey of its accounts. Most of the recovery is linked to a stock market rally that has lifted the broad S&P 500 Index 145 percent since the close of trading on March 9, 2009. The 401(k) recovery looks even better for workers 55 and older, according to Boston-based Fidelity, the largest U.S. administrator of 401(k) retirement plans. Those pre-retirement workers have seen their average balance nearly double to $255,000 since the first quarter of 2009 when the average balance was $130,700. The analysis covers people who have been with their current employer 10 or more years, Fidelity said.

I did find the remains of a small cat, if anyone wants that. Free.

British soldier was hacked to death with a machete. The soldier is not allowed to have a gun but theRead More terrorists had a firearm but chose to behead the soldier. The suspects spoke to camera after attack. “We swear by Almighty Allah, we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. The only reasons we killed this man is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We apologize that woman had to see this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.”

Israel knows who their enemy is and are not afraid to call them out. After 4 Americans were killedRead More by terrorists in Benghazi, when violence in the Middle East was raging, President Obama in partnership with Hillary Clinton spent $70,000 in taxpayer money on a commercial that aired on Pakistani television apologizing for the "video." We are sorry. We are going to get the man who made the video who exercised freedom of speech and arrest him. Any terrorist suspects questioned yet?

PR - It appears that the writer of this item is none other than McMurphy who has been polluting theRead More Patch since the new format arose (just click on the writer's name and you will be taken to McMurphy's profile page). This person is also Randall McMurphy and all the old names including AZ. From all indications, he/she is also DB Cooper so this person is posting on this Board and then commenting on his/her own posts. As someone pointed out a couple of weeks ago, trying to trick other readers is a violation of the Patch's rules, and yet it continues.

@DB Cooper: Oh, you mean how you used your multiple personalities and screen names to flag me intoRead More oblivion? The thing is, it won't work this time. Try again, stalker. Try harder. LOL! You don't have enough fake personalities this time around to do such a thing. Thanks again for stopping by my blog. :) LOL! Hook, line, sinker.
