Autumn is the only season where pumpkins are judged by their personality as well as their performance in the swimsuit competition. Get to know fall's finest with today's Groupon: for $14, you get admission for four and four train rides or hayrides at The Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival located at the Helotes Fairgrounds (up to a $28 value). This Groupon is valid September 30 and for any Thursday–Sunday in October, as well as Monday, October 31.

Back for its second year, the Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival takes over the Helotes Fairgrounds to entertain visitors of all ages with rides, games, live music, food and drink vendors, a petting zoo, and autumn-themed fun. Admission to the Fall Festival grants foursomes access to the grounds' acres of amusement, which include pony rides, a petting zoo, and pumpkins to carve for Columbus Day. Kids can catch the Pumpkin Patch's train or rumble along on an autumnal hayride with four included tickets for either diversion. Each Saturday the Pumpkin Patch will host a talent show for dance teams, vocalists, magicians, and congressmen, with two winners advancing each round until the finale on October 29.
