The crowds poured into the Veggie Patch to get a taste of country last month at the Pumpkin Fest which featured gator rides and a petting zoo where Daphne the Alpaca enjoyed the attention. Cody and Kelsie were thrilled with the turnout and would like to extend a massive thank-you to all that attended their Pumpkin Fest on the 20th of October, “Your support this season was outstanding! Looking forward to seeing you again next year!”
