San Juan Island residents can choose from a full day of activities. They can pick their own pumpkins at Guard Sundstrom's Harvest Festival. Driving down San Juan Valley Road you can't miss the pumpkin patch at his farm. Burn off the spoonfuls of Guard's homemade honey by walking in the first San Juan County Breast Cancer Awareness Walk.
