The Texas State Railroad will host their Pumpkin Patch Express for three weekends this month. It's a perfect event for the whole family to enjoy a Halloween adventure that is just fun and not so spooky. Dress your kids in their Halloween best, or the whole family, and board the train at the Rusk Depot for a 30 minute ride round trip ride.

You'll stop at the Pumpkin Patch Express where the kids, and kid at heart, will get to enjoy hayrides, games, bounce house and lots of other fun events. The kids can then head to the pumpkin patch and pick their own pumpkin to take home and carve to set on the front porch.
