Spookley the Square Pumpkin Presents Autism Community Day
We are thrilled to announce that Holiday Hill Farm and Spookley the Square Pumpkin are joining our efforts to increase awareness and funds for autism research. On
Sunday, Oct. 1, pumpkin patches around the country will be hosting a special Spookley's Autism Community Day. Participating farms will open their pumpkin patches early so that families affected by autism will have an opportunity to enjoy the Halloween Harvest activities without the usual crowds and noise.

Many of these farms offer hay rides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and Halloween's newest mascot – Spookley the Square Pumpkin. Spookley can be found at Barnes & Noble and a portion of all proceeds from Spookley merchandise will be donated to CAN. Check out the Spookley DVD at Lionsgate.
