This year marks the 30th and final edition of the fall tradition.
The annual Pumpkinfest at Gannondale Farms, which has featured everything from Canada’s largest pumpkin catapult to pumpkin displays, is coming to a close after 30 years.
“It’s been a great fun thing for parents and grandparents to bring their children to and enjoy all the various activities here. It’s a nice old-fashioned thing to do and it’s simple. It gets everyone away from the malls, the computers and the screens to have some fun.” “It’s a little easier to manage things that way and those are things we’d like to keep doing. We’ve always enjoyed having the children come out and having fun.”
“It’s very nice to see them as they’ve grown up and they still like the place. They always come up and say ‘Hi Mr. and Mrs. G,’ which is what they would call us when they worked here.”
