Those searching for the perfect pumpkin to either turn into a

jagged-toothed jack-o’-lantern or to sit in the middle of a cornucopia as

the centerpiece on a table can find one at the Centennial Farm.

Until Oct. 31, pumpkins will be sold at the Centennial Fair at the

Orange County Fairgrounds. Large pumpkins will sell for $8, medium for $4

and small for $2. All proceeds will benefit the Centennial Farm

Foundation, which operates the farm and supports youth educational

programs.

The pumpkin patch is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday

and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends at 88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa.
