5:30 PM - 7:30 PM    The Great Pumpkin Patch - The Great Pumpkin Patch
Did you enjoy growing up with Highlights Seek and Find puzzles? What if you and your kids could be part of a hide and seek game, with the Russ Nature Reserve being your puzzle board?That is right! Hundreds of pumpkins will be hidden along the trails at the Russ Nature Reserve and your child, age 4-12, will have to search and find pumpkins that match images on the cards we provide. Each child will be given a card with 10 different objects to find, painted on the pumpkins. Once they find them, cross them off and keep looking. When all 10 are found, return to the tent for some fun money that is good to spend at our candy store and in our pumpkin patch (1 candy bag and pumpkin purchase per registered child). Children are encouraged to come in costume! This is a FREE program, registration is required and opens August 18th. If you register and are unable to attend, please call so your spot does not go unused.This is a drop-in program, you can come any time between 5:30 & 7:30 p.m.
