pumpkins

This time of year the pumpkin craze seems to kick in high gear!

You may have noticed a pumpkin or two around the neighborhood lately. Okay, maybe more than two. They're everywhere. This means you’ve probably fallen victim to at least a little bit of the hype and purchased some Halloween pumpkins. But what do you do with them in just a few days, when Halloween is in the rearview mirror?

Since 1999 Todd Beumer and his family have owned and operated Collegeville Orchards featuring fun fall activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Chilly nights and leaves changing colors are only a few reasons to love fall...

My favorite time of year is here. FALL!

Like it or not, fall is here, (pretty much, let's not get technical about it, okay?). We all know what that means -- hot apple cider, digging out your sweaters from the back of the closet, and people going on and on about how much they love pumpkin spice lattes.

Halloween is just around the corner and the kids are already asking to carve the pumpkins. Some people wait until only a couple days before, others have already started carving. But why carve it with a knife when there's a more um, fun way?

We’re self-proclaimed Halloween geeks. But honestly, how can you not be? There are so many ways to celebrate the holiday that by the time October 31st rolls around, our entire lives are defined by creepy stuff and ridiculous garb. Our pets aren’t big fans of the festive takeover, but that’s never stopped us from dressing them up as a turkey dog!

I have noticed more and more pumpkins being carved and placed on front porches all over Central Minnesota. They are your typical pumpkins with the scary face, but you could be the talk of your neighborhood if you get a country artist template from GAC!
