The Great Pumpkin Fest 2015 Returns with More Fun Treats And an Awesome Giveaway For You!

Fun inside Mumpkin Patch at Carowinds Pumpkin Fest in 2013

UPDATE: Winners have been chosen. Thank you to all who entered.

Summer is almost over and and I'm starting to see lots of ORANGE, yes, orange - that infamous color of Fall which also signifies the appearance of that mighty, round orange vegetable: The Great Pumpkin that Linus totally believed in, and of course, the arrival of Halloween! Now there's no need to be like Linus to experience the fun and adventure of the Great Pumpkin. If you want it, you can have it all in one place. Where? Nowhere else but at Carowinds The Great Pumpkin Fest! And guess what? I'm going to give you access to experience it all - for free.


What's new in 2015
First, let's give you a sneak-peek  of some of the great fun you'll have at the Fest to get you totally excited.

Sleeping Giant - He's 12 feet tall and loves to sleep. If I were you I'll keep quiet around him and not make a peep or you know what will happen - or would you rather find out?

Last Laff - If you're not afraid of clowns, this is for you. Colorful clowns and their friends will entertain you with loads of fun at the kid-friendly circus.

Hay Bale Maze - Mazes are a great way to test your navigational prowess. Get in on the fun and get lost having fun with your little ones.

Petting Zoo - Did someone say Llama? Yes, Llama. Even I can't wait to pet one. Oh and Donkeys, sheep and goats too! It's a petting zoo you wouldn't want to miss.  I know, I wouldn't!

These are just a few of the fun you will have. There's more but you have to be there to find out! Or head on over to Carowinds Great Pumpkin Fest Event Page for more info.


My personal Favorite
The Mumpkin Patch. Why? Why not. My not-so-little-one gets to choose and decorate her own Pumpkin and get to bring it home! So, make sure to visit Mumpkin Patch and get your free pumpkin. Who knows, you might just find The Great Pumpkin out there!
