Guidestone’s Annual Pumpkin Patch & Harvest Festival Oct. 7-9th, 2016
Autumn in the Upper Arkansas Valley is a wonderful time to celebrate the region and its abundant harvest. One great event for children and families is Guidestone’s Annual Pumpkin Patch & Harvest Festival at the Hutchinson Ranch in Salida, Colorado. This beloved community event provides 3 days of family fun for hundreds of festival-goers from Chaffee County and surrounding communities with horse-drawn wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, pony rides, field games, crafts, face painting, food, music and more! Hours for the event are Friday and Saturday, 10am-6pm and Sunday, 10am-4pm. General Admission is $8/ person in advance online and at local businesses or $10/person at the gate.

Pumpkin Patch is a Rain, Snow or Shine Event! In the event of inclement weather, the Hutchinson Ranch barn provides plenty of indoor space for food, games and music. No refunds provided. And since this is a working ranch, please keep dogs at home. Thanks!
The success of this event is due in large part to the volunteers, artists, musicians, vendors and sponsors who make this event an attraction for all ages! Please consider providing your time, talent and/or funds to support this year’s festival. There is always a wide array of volunteer opportunities, so whether you enjoy being in the middle of the action, working with kids, or staying behind the scenes, there is a place for you! Musicians and artists make the whole event more festive with their tunes and talents, and financial sponsors help to cover event costs. Want to join in the fun?
