Haddonfield-Area Pumpkin Patches Are Open Amid Pandemic

HADDONFIELD, NJ — It's October, and Halloween is rapidly approaching. Yes, the coronavirus pandemic has forced some local pumpkin patches to adjust hours, regulations and offerings as they head into fall.

However, there are many still out there, and they are giving Haddonfield residents the chance to get outside and have fun after months of being cooped up inside.

It's important to remember to put on face coverings and follow social distancing protocols during these events to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
