Pumpkin patches, hayrides and good old-fashioned family fun at Tri-County Farms:
October is here and that means it's time to head out to your local
farm and enjoy the fall festivities.
Start your own family tradition by
visiting a bountiful Pumpkin Patch or strut your skills by conquering a
gigantic corn maze.
How about a nighttime carnival featuring cabaret and fire dancing in the maze?
Not to mention the fresh, flavorful food
you can get right at your local farm, from your local food grower or farmer.
Tri-County Farms is an organization of local farms offering activities and
produce for sale directly to the public through u-pick and farm stands in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties.
Start your fall fun by visiting www.tricountyfarm.org
and searching for "pumpkins."
Then, grab a jacket and a warm scarf and
head out to the local festivities. Enjoy hayrides, petting farms,
labyrinths of corn and hay and good old-fashioned family fun. Many farms
have hot cider, food, photos and, of course, plenty of big orange pumpkins for
your picking.
Bring your shopping list too, as many farms offer U-pick
and ready picked seasonal fruit and veggies as well! Most farms are
open daily throughout the season, but schedules vary so be sure to check out
the website for hours of operation.

Three Faiths One Foundation: St. John The Evangelist Episcopal Church, 2036 S.E. Jefferson St., will explore three Abrahamic faiths - Christianity, Islam and Judaism - from 9 to 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, 20 and 27. The public is invited to attend free of charge.
Ned Rosch, Stephen Denny and Wajdi Said will discuss the basic tenets of their faith, faith practice and challenges facing their tradition.
Said, president and co-founder of the Muslim Educational Trust, has worked with the Muslim community as well as the larger community to promote a better understanding of Islam. He is a co-founder of the Interfaith Council of Greater Portland, as well as a co-founder of the Arab, Jewish Muslim Dialogue, The Institute for Christian Muslim Understanding, Islamic Social Services of Oregon State, and the Arab and Muslim Police Advisory Board.
Named after a great-uncle who perished in the Nazi Holocaust, Rosch was raised in a vibrant and observant Jewish home. As a young person, he was profoundly impacted by Jewish ritual and a deep and meaningful relationship with his rabbi. Walking home from the synagogue after weekly Sabbath services, the rabbi, a masterful teacher, shared stories brimming with Jewish ethics and its passion for justice. Those teachings have guided Ned's career in nonprofit community-based organizations and inspired him to actively work for justice for all people, especially those of the Middle East.
Denny, a lifelong member of St. John The Evangelist, serves there as deacon. Denny's interest in building bridges between faiths was stimulated by visits to the Middle East. According to Denny, "By understanding other traditions, we have the opportunity to gain trust and respect for other faith journeys."
– The Rev. Stephen Denny
