Gene the pumpkin man

I went to a local pumpkin patch in Richland, Michigan to find the perfect pumpkins to carve.

Oh how the Kalamazoo area and businesses have grown; I am in awe!

Before you know it, Halloween week will be upon us.  There's so much more to do in Kalamazoo than costume contests!  Don't believe me?  Check it out!

Gene the Pumpkin Man is an Kalamazoo area icon known each fall for his huge pumpkin patch on M-43 just west of the city.

As fall closes in upon West Michigan many people’s memories turn to riding to the pumpkin farm just outside Mattawan, and visiting “Gene the Pumpkin Man”.

If weather started with a "P" that would've been Perfect :)
