So, Monday Bryan and I were SO excited to go to the Statesboro pumpkin patch. We were ready for a rustic evening... hayrides, warm apple cider, scarecrows.... you know, the whole 9 yards. We put our coats on and got ready for a fun, festive evening. All we knew was it was out on hwy. 80. Little did we know that it was across the street from Lowe's and Ryan's steakhouse. The 'pumpkin patch' was more of a 'roadside stand'. So much for rustic! Hey! I thought we lived in the country or something! What gives?
So - we thought about going to Lowe's for cheaper pumpkins ... but since this 'pumpkin patch' is allegedly a 'Statesboro Tradition,' says the Statesboro Paper, we opted to purchase only 1 pumpkin and a pumpkin carving kit. Team effort. We're excited for our Trick-Or-Treaters so we decided to go with the friendly message ... "welcome" ...
We actually pulled the template out of the pumpkin carving kit we got at the 'pumpkin patch.' There was even an option to enter a pumpkin carving contest!!!(Entries were due Oct 31, 1997). Hmmph. Now, that explains why the pages were brown and crispy.
We're growing our own pumpkin patch next year.
We also decided this: If the Statesboro 'tree farms' are actually 'roadside tree stands' we're driving to the mountains.
