Great pumpkin pickup

Kids, families flock to patches

Under the scrutinizing eyes of scarecrows, Dillon Baboolal, 5, picks up his pumpkin of choice at Auburn’s Mosby Farms Pumpkin Patch during a warm, sunny fall day last week. The sun gave way to dense fog this week, but that didn’t keep kids and families from selecting pumpkins or challenging corn mazes in the valley.
