WEEKEND FESTIVALS PRAISE THE GOURD.

Gourds galore top the agenda at the Fall Harvest Festival at Moorpark's Underwood Family Farms.

This weekend's seventh annual event features winter squash, Indian corn and other fall decorating accessories, plus a large selection of pumpkin- carving tools.

And, of course, it wouldn't be a fall fest without acres and acres of big, fat pumpkins!
