NORMAN FARMS
In early September Norman Farms
in Tustin was finishing up the summer
growing season with sweet corn and
other fresh veggies, but now pumpkins
are the biggest produce harvested.
In addition to the pumpkins, Norman
Farms also has Indian corn, gourds,
and dried corn stalks. The farm is open
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
Once again Norman Farms is partici-
pating in the Pink Pumpkin Project to
support breast cancer research.
The farm is donating half of the
proceeds from each pink pumpkin sold
to organizations involved with breast
cancer research. The Pink Pumpkin
Patch Foundation was created in 2012
to aid in the fight against breast cancer.
On Oct. 19, Norman Farm also is
scheduled to host a family fun day/
open house which starts at 11 a.m. In
addition to all the normal things like
pumpkins, squash, gourds and other
accouterments of fall, there will be a
petting zoo, cider, doughnuts and more.
The farm is located four miles west
of U.S. 131 exit 168 at 22735 20 Mile
Road. More information can be found
by calling (231) 429-6191.

Depot Franklin and Sears streets and the parade will start at
7 p.m.
The lighted parade is new to this year, Chamber of
Commerce Director Kim O’Neil said, and has not been
done for some time.
“The city has done a lighted parade in the past but
it has been a while since we have done something like
this,” she said. “I am 45 years old and I cannot remem-
ber a time when there was a lighted parade.”
While the parade goes down Upton, parade-goers may
notice some added decorations around town this year,
