Fall is here, which means its time for the return of the Marana Pumpkin Patch and Farm Festival, which reopens this weekend for its 15th year.

The pumpkin patch is open to the public for less than 20 days total, but Owner Jon Post says it takes an entire year of preparation to get everything ready for October visitors.

"I'm thrilled to be able to be involved in it and put it on it's a lot of fun, a lot of work, but it's just really neat to see the families that come out and enjoy spending time here," Post said.

The festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year, with Post explaining that family togetherness is at its core.

"One of the goals that I had was to make sure that families could come here and spend a considerable amount of time together here at the farm," Post said.
