Confirm fall’s arrival …
… by plucking the perfect pumpkin. Yes, nothing says autumn in Lake Highlands like the late-September appearance of the annual pumpkin patch at St. James Episcopal Church on Audelia Road at McCree. Pumpkin purchase proceeds benefit the church’s youth group. Look for the pumpkins the last Sunday in September through Oct. 31. St. James is located at 9845 McCree.

Support Lake Highlands High School football …
… when you buy a Black Out T-shirt from a LHHS cheerleader for $12. A portion of the proceeds will go to a local charity (at time of publication, still to be determined). Lake Highlands-based business Herb’s Paint and Body sponsored the T-shirt project. Black Out shirts are designed for wear at this season’s Wildcat football games, especially the fan-designated Black Out game versus rival Berkner Rams Sept. 26. To purchase a shirt, contact Glenda Gerteisen at 214.912.3278 or glenda9920@swbell.net. For a complete Wildcat Football schedule,
