Pumpkin Patch is Open - Sept 26 (maybe & Oct 2, for sure) - Oct 31, 10 am - 6pm We planted white, blue, pink, yellow and, of course, lots of orange pumpkins. We hope the weeds don't get ahead of the pumpkins like last year. We never know which will win the race to kiss the sunshine first. Once the pumpkins vine we can't weed anymore because if you step on a vine you kill the pumpkins started on it.

October 25, 26, 10 am-4pm - Pumpkin Chuckin' Meet Team “Two Buck Chuck” and their powerhouse pumpkin-chunkin’ trebuchet! Originally built in 2018 for national competitions in Aurora, CO, the machine was designed by Preston Fayas and Alex Houchens using the classic trebuchet concept: a massive counterweight bucket on one end and a sling on the other to launch pumpkins sky-high. Over time, the team has upgraded the design—tweaking geometry for greater distance and even adding elastic bands to boost the counterweight, creating a trebuchet/catapult hybrid. Preston, a local mortgage lender originally from Green Bay, WI now living in Johnstown, teamed up with Alex, a Greeley-raised welder and mechanical engineer now residing in Hudson. The name “Two Buck Chuck” came from the humble beginnings of their first machine, which was built mostly from scraps with only about $200 invested—“two bucks” as they joked. Today, their towering contraption stands 27 feet tall when extended and has launched pumpkins an impressive 875 feet—nearly three football fields!
