CENTRAL CITY - On October 5 and 6, 2024, Main Street Central City hosted some fall fun with its annual Pumpkin Patch event on Levit Street, located between Gregory and Lawrence Streets. The event transformed an old stone building front into a spooky, pumpkin-filled wonderland, drawing families and visitors to Central City.
The main attraction was an impressive collection of pumpkins, some weighing between 30 and 40 pounds, brought in from a farm near Denver. Kids eagerly selected their pumpkins and got creative, decorating them with colorful stickers, googly eyes, and fun accessories.
Adding to the excitement, children participated in a scavenger hunt, searching for hidden items like a witch, broom, and scarecrow. Those who completed the hunt were rewarded with fun prizes.
A standout feature of the day was the scarecrow decorating contest, where participants showcased their creativity with a wide variety of scarecrow designs. The contest added a playful and competitive edge to the event, with cash prizes awarded to the most inventive creations.
In addition to the festive activities, the event also welcomed a unique vendor from Denver, Art Juyay, who showcased a beautiful collection of Ecuadorian-style sweaters and ponchos. Their vibrant designs and cozy fabrics added a touch of cultural flair to the Pumpkin Patch, offering visitors the chance to shop for handcrafted toys and clothing.
Snacks were available, with The Waffle Company serving up their signature waffles on a stick, offering tasty options like the “Bam-Bam” (white chocolate and fruity pebbles) and the “Cinister” (milk chocolate and cinnamon toast crunch). These sweet treats were a crowd favorite, making the event even more enjoyable.
Overall, the Pumpkin Patch event was a success, offering a family-friendly atmosphere filled with festive activities, games, and delicious food. With free admission and a sense of community, it was the perfect way to celebrate the fall season. Look forward to next year's Pumpkin Patch for more seasonal fun!
