Every community has their special events and hidden gems. Pumpkin patch's are nothing new, but you really have to attend the pumpkin patch at Bauman Farms to see something special.

You are greeted with this year's theme which was pirate oriented. This large hay boat is a maze. Complete with large irrigation tube slide, this was a hit with many people this year.

I don't care who you are...these irrigation tube slides are fun.

That is just at the entry. Head over to the zip lines for some more fun. Attached to pulleys, these swings slide along, nice and fast. Not for really young children, kids over 3 that aren't afraid of a little speed can handle these. They do have hay swings in another area for the younger kids.

There is a teepee and covered wagon which is attached to the...

fort which exits out the..

gopher hole.

By far my kids favorite thing is the jumping pillow. Even Paul "I don't do bounce houses" Slaybaugh from Arizona would be hard pressed to not play on this thing.

The Bauman Farms Harvest Festival runs every October from the 1st-31st. We spent 6 hours there and didn't do everything. Now...part of that is my kids spent an hour jumping on the pillow...but this is for them...or is it?

This post covers just a tad of what is offered at the Harvest Festival. Visit the Bauman Farms website for more information about this great local event.
