Pumpkin patches get ready for visitors as autumn season moves in
SUMMARY: Pumpkin patches require a lot of work from farmers, but they can be profitable during the fall season. Dry Bottom Farms in Choctaw County, Mississippi, is one such patch that has faced challenges due to floods that destroyed their pumpkins. However, farmers like Aaron Stovall continue to work hard because they love what they do. Stovall emphasizes the joy he receives from people's positive feedback and enjoyment of the patch. Despite the difficulties, the Dry Bottom Farms Pumpkin Patch remains open on weekends for visitors to enjoy.

SUMMARY: Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture, but law enforcement reminds people to drink responsibly to avoid alcohol poisoning. The day commemorates the Mexican army's victory over France in 1862, but in the US, it is often celebrated with Mexican food and drinks. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott emphasizes the importance of knowing one's limitations when drinking, especially during events like Cinco de Mayo. He urges people to have a designated driver, watch out for friends, or call a cab to prevent accidents and DUIs. Alcohol poisoning is a real danger, and Scott's officers are actively monitoring the roads for excessive drinking.
