A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

This year’s fifth annual Oktoberfest held at the Arce’s Farm in Ho`olehua drew the community for some fall fun last Saturday. Keiki picked out pumpkins and posed for hay bale photos with scarecrows, while families shopped for lunch and crafts at the vendor booths. Deer on the homestead devoured all their homegrown pumpkins this year, but the Arces shipped in a replacement load on the barge so keiki could still carve out the holidays on Molokai.
