Kids are great at marking time by how many more “sleeps” they will have until a special day, and Papa is taking their lead. In case you are counting, there are 98 more sleeps until Papa’s Pumpkin Patch opens for the 2015 season! The 2015 season will be Sunday, Sept. 13 through Saturday, Oct. 24, and Papa’s will be open from 12-7 pm daily.

Said another way, 14 weeks from today, at 12 noon, Papa’s Pumpkin Patch will be open and Papa, his family and the tremendous team of volunteers will be ready to welcome you!

In fact, taking a look at the forecast for today in Bismarck, we’d love Papa’s opening day to look just like this: calm, sunny and a high of 80 degrees.

Mark your calendars with us throughout the summer. As of now, we’ve only got 98 sleeps left before pumpkin season is here!

Take good care,

Papa
