Field Trip-Guide Lines
These Guide Lines are for the SAFETY of your children!

PLEASE DON'T RUN.

Why ?

1.

You might fall. If you fall you might injure yourself on the stems of the pumpkins that are on the ground. The hay on the ground is often wet and slippery.

2.

You might get Hay Fever from the hay dust when it is kicked up by running.

PLEASE DON'T STAND ON OR KICK THE PUMPKINS

Why ?

You could fall and hurt yourselves. The pumpkins might break, they are used for food as well as Jack-O-Lanterns

PLEASE DON'T THROW PUMPKINS.

Why ?

1.

You might hit somebody with a pumpkin and hurt them.

2.

The pumpkins won't bounce - they will crack and break.

PLEASE DON'T PICK UP THE PUMPKINS BY THEIR STEMS.

Why ?

1.

The stems can (and often do) break, which could cause the pumpkin to land on your feet. Ouch! Pick up the pumpkins like a ball, with both hands, but remember pumpkins DON'T bounce.

2.

Some stems have small 'needle like' coverings that will hurt your hand and are hard to remove from your hands.

PLEASE STAY IN OUR PUMPKIN PATCH, DON'T WANDER OUTSIDE OF OUR FENCES.

Why ?

Highway 92, with its large trucks and automobiles, is dangerous to get near.

PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE TOILET, ASK A PARENT OR A TEACHER IN YOUR GROUP TO BRING YOU.

Why ?

If you go to the bathroom by yourself, we might not know where you are and worry.


Please, by following these guide lines we will all be just as happy at the end of your visit, as when you arrived at our farm.
