I’m getting ready to post photos of pumpkinfests I’ve been to at Brook’s, Downey’s and Southbrook’s. If you have photos of any other pumpkinfests you’ve been to, please send ‘em in to mel@melanieotg.ca or upload up to 3 photos here. Thank you!

Knox Family farm in Courtice is also wonderful! Hay rides out to the field to literally pick your own pumpkin, corn maze, homemade pies etc. and a big fully functional farm with a wide variety of animals.
