California Floating Pumpkin Patches

A floating pumpkin patch is usually held by and hosted in a municipal swimming pool where there's plenty of space to let the public dive in and pick their specimens. No worries about washing your pumpkin off at this event. These are already soaked! At most events, you have to pre-register for the opportunity to experience this cool Halloween / swim tradition.
