Cultural Coalition, Inc. and Pueblo Grande Museum present the 2nd Annual Portal to the Past Festival as a free virtual event on Sunday, October 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. Live streamed on Facebook and YouTube, the event features cultural performances of dance, music, and storytelling celebrating the engineering ingenuity of the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People.

Spookley the Square Pumpkin is a unique pumpkin that delivers a special message of tolerance and kindness that is just right for fall…and any time of the year! Spookley is the Official Spokes-Pumpkin for National Bullying Prevention Month in October through a partnership with PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. Apple Ridge Orchards is delighted to be partnering with Spookley, PACER and farms across the country to raise awareness for bullying prevention. Movie-goers will take a short walk under the moonlight among the apple trees to an open field and watch Spookley the Square Pumpkin on a large outdoor screen (Bring a blanket!). Each ticket provides parking, admission, and any size pumpkin of your choice in the pumpkin patch. The farm market will be open for popcorn, drinks, and all our traditional farm goodies.
