Pumpkins





 Every October, Jesse Lee Church sells pumpkins on Main Street in Ridgefield.   For 30+ years, truckloads of pumpkins have arrived from the Navajo Nation.  This partnership gives seasonal employment to 700 Navajo workers, full-time employment to a few, and beautiful pumpkins to buyers around here.

  1. What a great project. But it is hard to pick out the perfect pumpkin for carving into a jackolantern.
