The Great Pumpkin Patch by Shane Pangburn
When I was in third grade, I sprained my ankle at the Great Pumpkin Patch. Though the ankle has actually never completely healed, I have nothing but fond memories of the place. The displays are so beautiful, the gourds so varied, it’s overwhelming. It’s better than just a “great” pumpkin patch.
The day was split between rural theme parks. Rockome is only a few miles away and went there in the afternoon. The morning is the best time at the patch anyway. “When the the frost is on the punkin…” as the James Whitcomb Riley poem goes. It wasn’t a terribly cold day, it was windy though, you might notice that it you look closely at anything not tied down.
Overall it was a beautiful day at the patch and the Condill family was fantastic. They helped every step of the way.
