Pick A Pumpkin Festival took place at  Down Syndrome Cork, Field of Dreams, where families enjoyed picking out their pumpkins, art & crafts, music and much much more.
 

Fun Fact - Field Of Dreams was established in March of 2017 at the Showgrounds in Curraheen as partnership between the Munster Agricultural Society and Down Syndrome Ireland.

The three acre site is a purpose built adult learning centre where students are taught all aspects of horticulture and can attain accredited qualifications.
