Aiden Martinez, 5, of Dulce Elementary School in New Mexico, selects a pumpkin during his kindergarten class trip this week to Sutherland Farms just north of Aztec. Farm owners Allen and D’rese Sutherland host nearly 5,000 students each year during their monthlong Pumpkin Festival. Students are taught about local agriculture and life on the working farm. This weekend’s weather should be perfect for pumpkin picking. The National Weather Service predicts sunny skies and highs in the low 70s on Saturday and Sunday.
