Escobar’s life seems to reflect the human resilience that Reinstein seeks to capture in his book. Twenty years ago, Escobar suffered crippling injuries when his tractor turned over. “He feels he was more productive after the accident than before,” Reinstein said.

Saugus is one of many communities receiving pumpkins from the Navajo Reservation near Farmington, N.M., working with a program called Pumpkin Patch USA, which coordinates the destination of the pumpkins. The church and the Navajo Reservation both benefit from the pumpkins. The Pumpkin Patch tradition has become a very popular Autumn attraction to people passing through Saugus Center. The local Pumpkin Patch began in Saugus Center about two decades ago as a fundraiser for the church’s Youth Group and has continued to flourish as somewhat of a communitywide autumn attraction. Pumpkin sales have also helped fund the annual Danny Panico Memorial Scholarship Award Panico, a long-time church member and Pumpkin Patch worker, died in 2017, and the scholarship is meant to honor his contributions. The scholarships are a way of the church “giving back to the community” for supporting its annual Pumpkin Patch.
