Aloun Farms' annual Pumpkin Patch Festival takes place this weekend and next at the farm between 'Ewa and Kapolei.

This Saturday and Sunday, as well as Oct. 27-28, visitors can enjoy food, hayrides, jumpers and "the Flyin' Hawaiian Pumpkin Slingshot" at the farm at 91-1440 Farrington Highway. Children will also get a chance to pick pumpkins available for purchase.

Parking is $3. Proceeds go to the Campbell High School agriculture program.

The first 300 people each day to donate canned goods to the Hawaii Food Bank will get a free mini-flat pumpkin.

Educational tours are also available weekdays this month. Call 677-9516.
