October 24, 2012 - Pumpkin Patch Adventure
October is filled with pumpkins, and therefore pumpkin patches. A variety of pumpkin patches offer far more than just pumpkins these days. Some in
town have corn mazes, bounce houses, tractor rides, and an odd mix of animals for a petting zoo. Our photo of the day captures one of those animals,
although the Edhat staff is unclear whether it is a llama or alpaca. Can subscribers help us out?
In the news: A former SBPD Detective and local gym owner is back in court, a man has died from a shark attack at Surf Beach, and most locals were
severely disappointed in Bob Dylan's performance at the Bowl. Read these stories and more, below.
