My favourite annual family traditions to do each fall is visit a favourite or new local pumpkin patch!
As the season changes from summer to fall and the colours on the trees start changing, it is time to start visiting your favourite pumpkin patches.
Looking for some local Pumpkin Patches in Kelowna and the surrounding areas in the South Okanagan?
