Visit a Pumpkin Patch
October 14th, 2009
Get your Halloween pumpkins, go on a hayride, and even pet a goat. Consumer pumpkin patches are a booming business and offer a variety of fun family activities including corn mazes, tire swings, hay bale mountains, and, of course, acres and acres of pumpkins to assure you get the perfect one.
How to Make it Happen
Locate a pumpkin patch near you by doing an online search. Visit its website for hours, admission price and location, or call the operators for details. Be aware that some businesses charge one admission price while others charge fees for different activities.
Additional Activities
- Carve your Halloween pumpkin. Go traditional with the triangle eyes and crooked teeth, or buy a book with artistic designs and trace and carve.
- Make a pumpkin pie. Canned pumpkin works fine, but if you’re really ambition, make from fresh pumpkins.
- Make a fall arrangement using dried flowers, cattails, gourds, pine cones and other seasonal items.
