His kind and helpful hosts were Pappy and Polly Pumpkin, seen here driving the wagon.
For many years, these happy pumpkins were the official mascots for the farm. And they made his day special by giving Mr. Inflatable Flipper a nickel tour of the farm. He saw the giant corn maze, the pumpkin shaped water tower, the baby animal petting zoo and finally the tiny pumpkin home of Pappy and Polly.
His favorite part from this specific visit was the simple time spent inside the home of his pumpkin hosts. They sipped on warm apple cider and chatted many hours into the night. He even made friends with Pappy and Polly’s dogs Muffy and Tuffy who tried to nip and bite him earlier in the day. They thought he was a dog’s chew toy.
Every fall he thinks back to his wonderful joyous time at the pumpkin farm.
On a sad note, he heard that Pappy and Polly Pumpkin were accidently sold to Mrs. Carlyle Snordy. Yes, Mrs. Snordy turned them into pumpkin pies for the fall fair. The good news was that she won two blue ribbons. At least Pappy and Polly went out on top!
