Little house, big house!

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and feels ready to go back to work tomorrow. 

 

Our yard has a lot of history to it. 

The first house was built around 1925.  This tiny home belonged to Jacob T Reimer and his family of 10 when Ben and Sara Penner bought the land in 1967.  The house was torn down and the current house was built in the mid 70’s for their family of 13.  

The old foundation is now a perennial bed in the back yard. 

 

 

On an entirely different note, we are having weekly contests this summer.

This week we are giving away 15 tickets (worth $30.)

Have fun with your group at the Scarecrow Forest.

We are still booking groups for the 2014 season.  The Scarecrow Forest would love to have a very busy summer and fall so we are looking for groups to book an outing to our place.  We open May 20 and go til the end of October.  At the Forest your group can walk the Scarecrow path and look at child friendly scarecrows (Goldilocks, Little Bo Peep, etc.).  Than you can expend some energy on the bales of fun with 3 slides.  Feed Billy the goat some corn and pet a baby horse (colt), baby goats (kids), kittens, and some chicks.  If you would like we can give a talk on pumpkins (from how we prepare to the garden til they turn ripe) and a talk on chickens or cows.  We have a gorgeous picnic area for your group to have a picnic lunch.  For more information please check our website: www.pennerpumpkins.com or give Shirley a call at 204-371-5556.  We would love to see your group at the Scarecrow Forest.

Cost is $8.00 per person (which includes one activity train ride, zip line, duck races, etc.) and most groups spend between 3 to 4 hours here.  Groups should be 20 or more (if you have a smaller group please give Shirley a call and she can work something out with you).  The Scarecrow Forest is your farm for family friendly fun.
