Pumpkins are Fun!

Pumpkins are fun. They're fun just by their very nature. They're big. They're round. They're orange. What could be more fun? A banana? I don't think so. No one has made a house out of a banana. A zucchini? Zucchinis have potential, but no one roasts zucchini seeds. A radish? Pah-lease. They're good as little flowers on a plate, but no one has made a stew in them, Ho about a kohl rabi? They're tasty but no one has written a poem about "Peter, Peter the kohl rabi eater." No. Pumpkins are potentially, positively, and permanently fun!

For the past few autumn seasons...

 

For the past couple autumn seasons, we've hosted a weekend long Pumpkin Harvest Celebration. Due to the wonderful response, this year we've extended the festival to three weekends.  The festival offers plenty of old fashion fun and always new activities and surprises.  Check the coupon page of the website for some terrific deals.

 

If you work up a hearty appetite wandering the pathways in the giant maze, enjoy a light lunch fare of grilled hotdog, vegetarian soup in 2009, chips & pumpkin sipper cup, for kids, a pint of cider for adults.  There are always healthy snack packages, beverages, and deserts to complete your meal.

 

Remember to take home a country gift item or two, homemade jam and apple butter, along with a car full of fall decorations to celebrate the season.  Add a touch of country joy to your home with bundles of cornstalks, interesting colorful gourds and straw bales to lend a festive spirit to your neighborhood.



Great Photo op for mom and a beautiful tractor driver!
