Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch Opens Tomorrow

There is no better place to enjoy the fall season than Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch. Tomorrow, September 20^th is the opening day at the pumpkin patch, located two miles north of Oakland on highway 77 at Mark and Terry Wallerstedt’s.

Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch began seven years ago, hosting barn dances and selling some pumpkins. Since then, there has been much more added, providing visitors with endless fun.

“The barn has been remodeled. Josh (their son) did the work with some of his friends, along with repairing the roof,” Terry said. “We also added a childhood grocery store area this year.”

There is another new attraction that those considering marriage may want to look into. “We have a new wedding area that couples can book for their wedding,” Terry stated.

There are many other attractions for those of all ages. “There are pedal go karts, trikes, dress up barn, zip line, jumping pillow, animals and bon fire pits,” Terry said.

Terry has some special events planned to provide even more entertainment. “On October 11^th there will be a barn dance. I am also looking into having a magician come, but am not sure of the date yet,” Terry stated.

The hours of operation are Fridays from 12:30-6:00 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 12:30-8:00 p.m.

“We also accept reservations during the week for private birthday parties or school parties,” Terry said.

To make a reservation, or for further information, call Terry at 402-685-5409 or 402-380-1730.
