PumpkinFest with the Amarillo Botanical Gardens is coming up on Saturday, October 3, from 10am to 2pm. The event is for the entire family and will be set up as a vintage style carnival.

There will be twenty games with prizes, including kid's games for ages pre-school through elementary school. You will also be able to enjoy a cupcake walk as well as educational crafts.

There will be vendor booths, a professional photo set, food, drinks and cotton candy served all inside the Amarillo Botanical Gardens.
