The weather is starting to change.  Everyone is getting into the routine of school.  The children are discussing what costumes to get for Halloween.  Plans are being made for all the fall activities and Thanksgiving.  Don't miss out on some of the great fall activities in our area.  Check out the Events Calendar .

We also want to encourage you to pass this newsletter on to your friends. We are having a RAFFLE for anyone who registers on the site until November 1. They can win a family 4 pack to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Pumpkins in the Park
Saturday, October 14, 2006   10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Discovery Meadow, Guadalupe River Park

A bright orange pumpkin patch and a fanciful scarecrow display will welcome you to the park.  We’ll have varieties of specialty apples to taste, fresh pressed apple cider, and entertainment by popular children’s entertainers the Banana Slug String Band, Zun Zun and many more.  There will be tons of fun activities for children, including pumpkin decorating, puppet shows, environmental education activities and the chance to learn some traditional circus arts from Cosmo the Clown.  Help us celebrate Fire Prevention Week with the San Jose Fire Department by exploring the fire trucks that will be on display.

A variety of food and beverages will be available for sale.  There will also be free promotional items given away throughout the day.  Pumpkins in the Park will be held at Discovery Meadow, near the Children’s Discovery Museum, in the Guadalupe River Park.
