Harvest Fest: Pumpkins, Pies, Apples, and Sling Shots

A fall party wouldn’t be complete with out pumpkin carving, pie eating contest, and apple bobbing! Those are just a few of the activities the teens and staff competed in during our Harvest Party! After we carved our pumpkins and enjoyed an amazing dinner provided by the Grace UCC Ladies of Grace group, we piled onto a hay wagon and went for a ride down Sinking Creek Road to a nearby farm. Then the festivities ensued! A favorite of the night was our version of the Pumpkin Chunkin….we painted little gourds with glow-in-the-dark paint and the teens took turns using the sling shot to try and hit a target out in the corn field. By the end of the night, our faces were wet from apple bobbing and our stomachs full from the pie eating contest. We rounded out our night hanging out around the bonfire drinking warm apple cider. We were so glad not to get rained out this year!
