Pleasant Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

November 3rd, 2009 at 6:46 pm by Doug Moats under Weather

Last Friday I had the pleasure of presenting the Fox Toledo Stormtracker Weather Live from the Fleitz pumpkin farm in Oregon.

This was an awesome experience!  Oregon is such a pleasant community.  I drove over from Toledo on Starr Avenue which is full of Fall color and foliage.  It was 74 degrees and “Indian Summer” was in full effect.  Attached are a few of the photos from our visit.

The Fleitz Pumpkin farm offered a variety of pumpkins and gourds…  There was also a Corn Maze, a petting zoo, hay rides, warm apple cider and donuts.  What else could a person want. :)

By the way, while I was there I purchased a couple of pumpkins that were advertised as having delicious seeds.  They were quite tasty! I cut the two small pumpkins open this morning and baked the seeds at 350 for 20 minutes.  The seeds popped in the over sort of like popcorn.  I dashed some salt on them and they were pretty much ready to eat right out of the oven.
