All About the Junior League
The Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier not only organizes this delightful event but also puts its heart and soul into it. With the help of various sponsors, they’ve transformed a beautiful lakeside area into a pumpkin-filled oasis. Maddie Menefee, the co-chairwoman of the Pumpkin Patch project, explained that planning for this event typically begins nearly a year in advance to ensure they have enough pumpkins and a secure site ready for visitors.
Each pumpkin sale supports projects that truly make a difference in the community, including the much-loved mentoring program “Magic” and the red apron food pantry. So, while you pick your favorite pumpkin, you can feel good knowing your purchase is helping local initiatives thrive.
