Apple Pie Experience

The Great Pumpkin Launch

Fall-Colours Boat Cruise

The annual Pumpkin Premiere Party is an exciting pumpkin carving tradition! Your family will have a pumpkin on your dining room table to transform into your own masterpiece. Display your creation on Sunday at your family table to be considered for the judging with a chance to win “People’s Choice”. Celebrate with hot apple cider and hors d’oeuvres while viewing all of the creatively carved pumpkins from the weekend. Contest categories include: Most Fern Oriented, Most Current, Most Creative, Most Humorous, Most Festive and People’s Choice Award. Please bring pumpkin carving utensils and any decorations that you may need as Fern supplies are limited.

There is nothing more fun than to launch pumpkins through the air at full speed. Hit all the targets this weekend at the pumpkin launch.
