Happy October Everyone!
Even though fall is all around us the boys in the field are still bringing in lots of fresh veggies daily! How nice it is to be able to still eat fresh local veggies at this time of year! Our pumpkins are also making their way down to our pumpkin patch! So come along and pick out your perfect pumpkin!! If you do purchase your pumpkin now, just remember to keep it in a warm place especially at night; porches or garages are perfect homes to pumpkins! As well, even though it is very tempting to carve your masterpiece in your beautiful pumpkin, do not pierce or carve your pumpkin until about 3 or 4 days before Halloween. And a little tip, to help your pumpkin keep its shape, put Vaseline along all of the cuts that you make!
Speaking of pumpkins, we now have a schedule for our annual Pumpkinfest! This years pumpkinfest will be held on Saturday, October 16 from 10 to 4. There will be many day long events such as the gourd toss, bouncy castle, wagon rides, seed spitting as well as face painting. Here is a list of special events and contests that will be held throughout the day!
11:30 Pie Eating Contest
12:30 Scarecrow Making Contest (We provide the supplies! Just bring your creativity!)
1:30 Pie Eating Contest
2:30 Hot Pepper Eating Contest (with a cash prize of $500.00!)
3:30 Judging of the Pumpkin Carving Contest (pumpkins can be carved throughout the day)
Wow! What fun! where else can you go to experience all of these fun events? And best of all, come in your costume for Halloween!
The Pumpkinfest is in support of the R.E.A.L Program as well as the Mount Pearl Sport Alliance, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to these programs, it's a way for us to give back to the community! The admission for this years Pumpkinfest is $3.00 per child, $5.00 per adult, or you can buy a family pass for$15.00 for a family of 5.
See you all soon!
