Yesterday - Sunday, Sept. 13 - was opening day for the 2009 season at Papa's Pumpkin Patch. It was an amazing journey filled with the help of many friends and families. In less than 5 months, we re-built our main storage structure, planted (and are harvesting) a pumpkin crop, added a corn maze, sewed nearly 150 decorative flags and banners, acquired a LOT of new stuff, and got about the business of welcoming our guests to Papa's.
We are especially grateful to the Patching the Patch team, the U Mary Emerging Leaders program, Rebuilding Together, Bismarck-Mandan Young Professionals, school children and parents, along with so many individuals who made our re-building after the April 29 fire possible.
It was a beautiful day...gorgeous sunshine, mellow breezes, virtually no bugs. It was the beginning of fall at its finest. Our season runs from Sept. 13 - Oct. 24. We're open 12-7 pm daily, and I hope I get to welcome most of you personally when you visit us.
See you soon,
Papa
