It’s hard to believe, but Papa is down to the final three days of the 2016 pumpkin season. We plan to be open 12-7 pm on Thursday, Oct. 20, Friday, Oct. 21 and Saturday, Oct. 22. Here’s what you can look forward to finding, in addition to pumpkins, squash, gourds and all kinds of free activities:

• Thursday, Oct. 20: From 1-7 pm we plan to have zip lines, pony rides, the obstacle course, pumpkin popper and pedal carts open. From 5-7 pm, we will add the corn cob sling shots, the monster wagon train, pumpkin trebuchet, pumpkin cannon, horse-drawn hay rides and the barrel train for your enjoyment. We will also welcome Central Dakota Humane Society and pets of all sizes and ages from 5-7 pm. (Bring your pet, and you will receive $1 off one admission.) Concessions will be open all day.
• Friday, Oct. 21: From 12:30-6:30 pm, we plan to have zip lines, pony rides, the obstacle course, pumpkin popper, pedal carts, corn cob sling shots and barrel train open for you. Concessions will be open all day.

From 12-5 pm, the pumpkin cannon and pumpkin trebuchet will be taking aim at their targets. From 12-6 pm, you’ll find the zip lines, pony rides, hay rides, train rides, corn cob sling shots, pedal park, Apple Dash Obstacle Course and the pumpkin popper will be open.
