The Sooner State is home to some of the nation's top pumpkin patches and corn mazes, known all over the U.S. If you're looking for some fall family fun check out the top 10 biggest and best pumpkin patches and corn mazes in Oklahoma.

The Mexican cartels have gone too far this time. Forcing us to destroy pumpkins in the month of October should be a sin.

While we all know that pumpkins are one of the premiere crops of the Fall season, did you know these interesting facts?

There is meaning behind a teal-colored pumpkin if you see one on a porch this Halloween.

Size matters.

You may have noticed a pumpkin or two around the neighborhood lately. Okay, maybe more than two. They're everywhere. This means you’ve probably fallen victim to at least a little bit of the hype and purchased some Halloween pumpkins.

Between your foolproof stencil of Justin Bieber's face and an endless supply of premium 99 cent carving tools, you probably envisioned yourself minutes away from that dreamy pop star pumpkin glowing all over your neighbors' jealous faces. What could go wrong?

When we carve pumpkins, we generally use a knife, but they must do things a little differently in the South. For example, Tennessee resident and YouTuber Hickok45 carves his pumpkin with a Colt 1911 handgun. Why, you may ask? Because using anything else would just be plain silly.

Over the weekend, a massive 300-pound pumpkin displayed at Hammer's Farm Market in Peoria, Illinois, went missing and may have been taken by thieves. We're not sure what's more impressive -- actually growing a 300-pound pumpkin or working out the logistics to steal one.

It's that time a year again when we go out and buy pumpkins and attempt to cave them into something truly awesome and for the most we all make some pretty cool pumpkins, at least I thought we did.
