LL --
What a great question. Undoubtedly the Sacramento Bee will have a
special section coming up soon, but it's old sections on pumpkin
patches aren't on-line -- unless you know a trick!
Here's a good list for you -- and at the bottom I'll show you how to
get last year's Sac Bee pumpkin directory -- which has GREAT
descriptions of all of the nearby sites!
