Autumn is here, and that means harvest festival time at area farms. |
Sauchuk Farm in Plympton is a fall first round pick. The farm becomes an autumn family fun fair every weekend between now and November 4th. They are open on Columbus Day, just a bit off of Route 58 in Plympton. |
Pumpkins are everywhere, as you might imagine. |
No, I don't know what that is... |
One must fortify oneself with hot dogs and fried dough. |
I saw girls wrestle in cream corn once on the internet, but this was more family friendly. |
Speaking of family friendly, I wonder what the artillery is for? |
Shooting pumpkins and apples out of a cannon? Sign me up! |
I wanted to reenact the machine gun part of the Do Long bridge scene from Apocalypse Now with this cannon, but there were too many kids around, so we shot this video instead. |
That mouthy guy from the Vietcong would have run if we started shooting pumpkins at him. |
1936 tractor, runs great! |
Who hasn't broken a few cornhole rules, right? |
Regrettably, we arrived either too early or too late for the Hillbilly Pig Races. |
This looks promising... |
They haul you and the kids around in cow or bee themed carts. Of course I went, all 250 pounds of me. |
I can't recommend spending a crisp fall day out on the farm under blue skies strongly enough, especially for my more urban readers. |
One could act out the labyrinth finale from The Shining in here if God would provide some October snow. |
In case you think that the corn stalks are props, we popped a few open. |
"Don't panic" |
Onward through the corn... |
