The Great
Pumpkin Haul is a 2 mile jaunt through forests, open fields, over creeks, hay bails, and through the scenic Botanic Gardens. There is a catch though: you will be covering these two miles carrying your very own personal
pumpkin! That's right. Before the "Haul" you will have a chance to go pick out your very own
pumpkin from Chatfield's
pumpkin patch (the
pumpkin is included with entry). We will weigh it and mark it and you will be ready to go! Only the best
Pumpkin Haulers will finish with out dropping their
pumpkin and for the love of fall, don't pick one that is too light. You need the biggest orange orb you can find!
If you just aren't feeling quite up to the task of carrying a 10-20lb
pumpkin for 2 miles of crazy fun then grab a friend and form a team where you can "share the load".
We will have awards for the faster hauler, the hauler carrying the heaviest
pumpkin, the faster team, and also a "tough
pumpkin" category for those brave enough to take on 2
pumpkins solo.
After the Haul, enjoy hot apple cider and pumpkin spiced beer, music and annual corn maze, but don't get lost!
