Put your jigsaw skills to the test in a fast-paced challenge with @portlandpuzzleco hosting at Hillsboro Downtown Station. Work solo, pair up, or form a team to finish a 500 piece puzzle as quickly as possible, and take the puzzle home afterward. The fastest finish earns a $100 prize. Reserving a spot in advance is recommended to ensure participation, and walk-ins are welcome, though extra puzzles are limited. Open to all ages, it offers a friendly setting for friends, families, and puzzle fans to compete together.

Experience a throwback-style pumpkin patch at a small family farm. Stroll through a wide field of pumpkins while miniature cows and goats roam nearby, and take in the crisp feel of autumn all around. The pace stays relaxed with no massive crowds and no flashy attractions, just uncomplicated seasonal fun centered on pumpkins, friendly animals, and time together.

This relaxed open show is judged by Tina Bell and Kenny Strohecker. Daily high point awards are offered in English and Western for 10 and under walk trot, 13 and under, 14 to 17, 18 to 38, and 39 and over divisions. Series high point recognition is available for the same age groups, with eligibility requiring participation in at least two shows.

Part of the Where Memories Are Made Tour, this outing starts at MINI of Portland and continues by scenic backroads to Plumper Pumpkin Patch & Tree Farm in Portland, a family-run working farm set on rolling hills with views across the Willamette Valley. Try your aim with the pumpkin cannon or take shots with the apple cannon at targets in the field. Wander a full-size corn maze or a smaller version for younger visitors, zip down a slide, cheer on pig races, go for a hayride, bowl with pumpkins, enjoy pony rides, and meet friendly farm animals. Admission is $17 online and $19 at the gate. Cannon experiences are an additional fee, with pumpkin shots at $5 each and apple shots at $5 for five apples. This event is open to Oregon Mini Society members only, and non-members are encouraged to join the club.
