Are you ready? It’s here at last. Yes, folks, that arts and crafts bonanza known as Pumpkin Patch will be held this weekend at the Texas County Activity Center.

The 26th annual benefit event, sponsored by the Lambda Psi chapter of Beta Sigma Phi sorority, will feature about 100 vendors offering a variety of arts and crafts, including floral, clothing, ceramics, candles, wood, stained glass, jewelry, paintings, sculpture, drawings, pottery and more.

Proceeds from the event are donated to community services in the Oklahoma Panhandle. Some of the beneficiaries include Meals on Wheels, Special Olympics, American Heart Association, Panhandle Area Workshop, Panhandle Lions Club shopping spree, Red Cross, Ministerial Alliance Christmas Basket project, YMCA and the Oakes of Mamre. Donations are also made to medical funds and to people in need within the Panhandle communities. The sorority also sponsors two scholarships to high school senior girls each year.

Concessions will be provided. Stop by between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and get a head start on — or finish up! — your Christmas shopping.
