'Tis the season of orange, brown and some red. Orange is the color of pumpkins, which come in all sizes. The little guys are for decorating, not eating. The Icon spotted them at Stratton's Greenhouse at the corner of Triplett Drive and East College.

We know the meaning of this plate. And it's way past its due to be printed in The Icon. If you want to know who Pat and Deac' are, check out Common Grounds, generally in mid-morning. Of, you may ask Maranda Miller at BFR for a explanation (it's not her plate).
