The Great Pumpkin Haul is a 2 mile jaunt through forests, open fields, hay bales, and through the scenic Moon Farm. There is a catch though: you will be covering these two miles carrying your very own personal pumpkin! That’s right. Before the “Haul” you will have a chance to go pick out your very own pumpkin from the patch (the pumpkin is included with entry). We will weigh it and mark it and you will be ready to go! Only the best Pumpkin Haulers will finish with out dropping their pumpkin and for the love of fall, don’t pick one that is too light. You need the biggest orange orb you can find!
