A FALL TRADITION IN LOUISBURG CONTINUES AS THE POWELL PUMPKIN PATCH AT 25695 SPRING VALLEY ROAD, WILL BE OPEN FROM 9 A.M. UNTIL 6 P.M. EVERY DAY UNTIL OCTOBER 31ST.
LOGAN YORK OWNS AND OPERATES POWELL PUMPKIN PATCH WITH HIS WIFE, KATIE AND THEY SAY THE POWELL PUMPKIN PATCH FEATURES A CORN MAZE AND OFFERS GOURDS, SQUASH AND INDIAN CORN. THE MAZE THIS YEAR IS IN THE SHAPE OF A PHOENIX. THERE IS FREE PARKING AND FREE ADMISSION TO THE 35 ACRE PUMPKIN PATCH AND A NATURE TRAIL THAT GOES THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND HAY RACK RIDES ON THE WEEKENDS.
THE POWELL PUMPKIN PATCH STARTED IN 1990 WHEN THE YORK FAMILY PLANTED 35 ACRES ON THE FARM, AND EVEN THOUGH THE POWELL FAMILY NO LONGER OWNS THE FARM, THE YORKS HAVE KEPT THE NAME IN HONOR OF MARJORIE POWELL ALLEN. THEY SAY THE PUMPKIN CROP IS FANTASTIC THIS YEAR BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT FOR GROWING PUMPKINS.
