Pumpkin patch, touch-a-truck, hayrides, more, at Shotwell Landfill in Wendell

POSTED BY
Jody Mace

Meridian Waste is dedicated to supporting and giving back to local communities. This fall they are once again hosting a charity pumpkin patch. It will take place every Saturday in October, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Meridian Waste’s Shotwell C&D Landfill, 2724 Smithfield Road, Wendell.

This is a FREE event.

Besides the pumpkin patch, there will be a bounce house obstacle course, pumpkin and face painting, corn hole, animal balloon tying, hayride tours, and a touch-a-truck display.

Pumpkins will be available in three sizes, with suggested donations of $5 for medium, $10 for large, and $15 for extra-large. Meridian Waste is donating 100% of the money raised from the pumpkin donations to local non-profits, and will match the donations, to double the amount given to the local charities.

The event will benefit local nonprofits including The Bailey and Sarah Williamson Farm & Nature Preserve, Good Host Baptist Church, and East Wake Education Foundation.
