Almost the Season

It's been a challenging summer - like most.

Starting out cool and "almost wet" for a North Dakota Spring..... It was well into June before many of the crops felt "ready, set, go" for the summer.

Bottom line, I think most garden crops are two to three weks behind.

I'm hoping (not) too many of our Pumpkins will be in that shape. They are s l o w.

We're beginning preparations and decoration. Many new plans and changes for 2008. Past guests will be pleased - new guests will be delighted!

Plan on prices being higher. Cost of fuel has had an impact.

We continue our commitment to "favorite charities." Be sure to ask about the "Buddy Bucket" and add your "favorite" to our list. (Last year the contribution was $26,000)

If you or a group you know want to be involved in the "PRODUCTION" of PaPa's Pumpkin Patch 2008-- call, write or email us and we'll work on a "Win - Win" Partnership. They're the BEST!

Papa,

We are SO excited about the pumpkin patch! With school just around the corner, that means fall is near and the kids can't wait to come and play at Papa's.

Our most favorite place at the patch is the bale maze -- have you already got the maze in place? How do you come up with new designs each year?

We look forward to seeing you many times this fall. Thank ou for what you offer to families like ours.
