SEE WELLNESS 3 SEE TKE 2 Pumpkin patch partners with Sanrio Tanaka Farms in Irvine shows that Halloween doesn’t have to be scary. ANGELINA DEQUINA Lifestyle Editor Hello Kitty and her friends harvested happiness on the first day of fall at the Tanaka Farms’ annual pumpkin patch in Irvine on Saturday. The unique pumpkin patch was born out of a collaboration between Sanrio, the creators of Hello Kitty, and Tanaka Farms, an Irvine-based family farm. The sun shone brightly as an- imated guests of all ages mar- veled at a myriad of displays. A real-life Hello Kitty made a special one-time appearance in the early hours of the event. Those who missed her are not entirely out of luck, however, as she remains enshrined in differ- ent sections of the farm. Throughout the pumpkin patch, cardboard Hello Kitty and friends can be seen posing as they welcomes guests into a sunflower field, drive a trac- tor and pick vegetables in the fields. Five different types of pump- kins are available to pluck from the vast farm. Tanaka Farms also provides guests with a list of pumpkin names and charac- teristics, like “a good dessert pumpkin” or the pumpkins’ weight on average. On the list are two pumpkins named Cinderella and Porcelain Doll — but this is only a frac- ANGELINA DEQUINA / DAILY TITAN tion of the quirky pumpkins A cardboard cutout of Hello Kitty and friends is placed in front of the pumpkin patch in Tanaka Farms guests can encounter.
