From New Braunfels, every direction

First United Methodist is five minutes from downtown and Sundrop Springs ten; Sundrop ran to 1 November. East in Seguin, Braune Farms charged $5 and closed on 25 October, while Country Grace Farms’ pink pumpkin patch kept going to 1 November. Uhland Fall Fest, half an hour north, sells pumpkins by the pound, and Circle N’s maze in La Vernia, forty minutes out, is the farthest on the list.

How the New Braunfels list was put together
