Explore trucks and tractors and learn about their functions in the nursery business. Pumpkins are used for more than jack-o'-lanterns. Find out what activities families can do with the gourd at home. Meet Elmer the tree and enjoy music and roasted corn. Adults can take a mini seminar on creating great outdoor living spaces. (10 a.m.-1 p.m. Sat. Free. Bachman's, 6010 Lyndale Av.
