Make Memories at the Pumpkin Patch…

In 1975 Kodak built an advertising campaign around a song made popular by Canadian singer, Paul Anka. This song, “The Times of Your Life” became a hit single for Anka during the same time that it was being used in the Kodak promo. The words are timeless, appropriate and stirs the heart with memories of days gone by for anyone who listens to or reads the words. Some of these words are worth another look:

Good morning, yesterday

You wake up and time has slipped away

And suddenly it’s hard to find

the memories you left behind

Remember, do you remember?

The seasons are passing one by one

So gather moments while you may

Collect the dreams you dream today

Remember, will you remember

The times of your life?

Make some memories that will stay with your family (and with you) for years to come.

The 5^th Annual Lewis-Clark Valley Pumpkin Patch is a great place to make these kinds of memories. The Pumpkin Patch is the annual signature fundraising event for L-C Valley Habitat for Humanity, so bring your family and your camera to the 2020 Pumpkin Patch.

We have a NEW location, 1242 Highland Avenue in Clarkston. (on the side lawn of Clarkston United Methodist Church, across the street from Rick’s Foods). The Pumpkin Patch will be open daily, beginning October 12–31, from 10AM – 6PM.

The annual Pumpkin Patch is part of Washington State’s Agritourism section of the Governor’s guidance for Washington. If you have questions or concerns please view the guidance and safety requirements set by the Governor’s’ office.

See you at the Lewis-Clark Valley Pumpkin Patch; you’ll have the time of your life!

Meet Shelly Frei

My name is Shelly Frei. I grew up in Grangeville, Idaho. I have lived in the LC Valley since attending college at LC in the 80's. With my education degrees, I began teaching at Holy Family School. My career there lasted a wonderful 27 years. I retired from teaching a couple years ago, and now spend time learning about our wine industry in the LC Valley, as well as spending time with my husband Paul, my kids and grandkids. I also help out at All Saints Catholic Church. I look forward to assisting Habitat and have always wanted to be more involved with such a great organization!
