    The harvest fest was Sept 26th & 27th rather than Oct. I just noticed today that it said Oct in the title of the post. Hope nobody missed it that wanted to go.
    The corn maze will still be open I think. I took my kids to that last year and they had a lot of fun. It was BIG. We haven't been this year yet.

    Oooops! Surprised no one posted on that before the date. At least the description dates were correct!

    Yes, the pumpkin patch and corn maze are open every weekend through October.

    Hours:
    Fridays 5-10 pm
    Saturdays & Sundays 12 pm -10 pm

    Admission to the maze is $5 for 12 years and older; $3.50 for ages 5-11; free for kids under 5.

    A pick-your-own pumpkin patch is available during the same times as the maze. Pumpkins 16 lbs or under are $4 each. Pumpkins over 16 pounds up to 50 lbs are $8 each.
