Smolak Farms, North Andover MA: Pumpkin Festival

315 South Bradford Street, North Andover, MA 01845

This was a fun time--the Pumpkin Festival at Smolak Farms in North Andover, MA. This place used to be a lot smaller, but they have done a lot of work to make it a destination for families. Their playground has been totally redone since we last came here (in the spring, maybe). We got to see one of our favorite local kid bands, Ben Rudnick and Friends, play. This was an added bonus (for us and our three-year-old).

It was a bit crazy, but not overwhelming. They had games, a bounce house, and  tons of food. One of the best things they had was a ride where you got into a long train of radio flyer-style wagons and got pulled around by a little tractor. They also had a big wagon/tractor ride, but we passed on that one this time. As usual, they also had delicious cider donuts. We brought home a dozen--they are so good. We didn't actually get a pumpkin, though, since we have a while to go until Halloween.
