LEHIGHTON -- Troxell's Produce and Pumpkin Patch near Lehighton is celebrating its 15th year in business.

For Grace Olmstead and her family, it's a tradition to stop here every year to pick out the perfect pumpkins.

"We're probably going to carve them and put faces on them," Grace Olmstead said.

The family business in Carbon County was full of pumpkins, gourds, mums and even some decorations for Halloween.

Families that stopped by say you can't beat the 70-degree temperatures.

"It's gorgeous out. It's a great fall day. It's actually warm for a fall day but it's still beautiful out," Frank Olmstead said.

On this Columbus Day temperatures were about 10 degrees warmer than normal at the farm.

The Troxell family welcomes the warmer temperatures, especially after a not so good season last year.

"Last year was really chilly and cold. It was sort of not the best season. This weekend is looking good and so I'm hoping for the best," Danette Troxell said.

The Troxell family may not have rain to worry about next weekend.  However, the 70 degrees temperatures like today won't be sticking around.
