Pumpkins in Niagara

This must be pumpkin festival weekend.  Halloween is this week and there are a number of big pumpkin farms in Niagara.  A few years ago I was doing on the escarpment and came upon a traffic jam and gridlock.  It was Howell's Family Pumpkin Farm.  This is a farm amusement park, with sand boxes, bunnies, animals, tractor tire play area, hay play area, straw ump barn, haystack jumping pillow, a tricycle track, the giant maze, and so on.  These are all activities for little ones. Their website is ahowlinggoodtime.com  At Warner Ranch and Pumpkin Farm in Welland, there is something every season - for  winter activities there are horse drawn sleigh rides of various sizes of sleigh. For autumn, their pumpkin patch is extensive, and they distinguish themselves from Howell's with free admission to the park.  Various activities have prices - pony rides $4.00, petting zoo and corn maze, $2.00 and so on. They have Rainbow the Unicorn for birthday parties.  Here's what they say:  "Rainbow does not live here at the farm, being a Unicorn he resides in the enchanted forest and can be reached at 289-673-1729. And close to us is Puddicombe Farms, right on Highway 8 with a train around the orchards and fruit wine production.  The train ride is a "scenic 30 minute ride around our 100 acre estate".  Here are two of the models from the Minneapolis Show this year.
