Sequim Gazette staff
The Halloween and Harvest season in Sequim is in full swing starting this weekend.
Churches, clubs and businesses bring out the cobwebs, cider and candy with multiple events across Sequim and Port Angeles.
The Sequim Prairie Grange kicks off the festivities with its cider pressing and potluck tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 22, while the Pumpkin Patch opens daily through Halloween night.
One major difference will be the absence of Trinity United Methodist Church which opted to make its harvest dinner, Sequim’s oldest event, an in-house event.
