BYOP (bring your own pumpkin) or we’ll sell you one to carve and decorate. Feeling judgemental? Together we’ll award insignificant prizes for any number of jack-o-lantern categories.

    Not happy with your creative efforts? We’ll have pumpkin destroying options available as well.to close out the evening. It’s been a tough year, maybe you just need to smash a pumpkin to let it all out.

    Take a walk around the pond on the Pumpkin Walk around the pond (weather permitting).
