10/19, Saturday, before my Refrac bus tour, I stopped by Amazon for its Fall For SLU event and pumpkin patch (11-2, repeats on Sunday).
Spread over 2 plazas. Music on both. Attracted quite some people, half are Indians.
A few vendors (carving on glasses, coffee, bakery, knitting, olive oil, scented candles ...).
Fare Start provided fresh (squeezed right there) apple juice,
and produce (apples, pears, chard, carrots, beets, different varieties of winter squash). None of the folks taking these free produces are people-in-need. I didn't see any homeless or visibly poor.
This year, there's a maze, and many clay (blue) pumpkins, a table for you to paint your pumpkins.
