Mark your calendars for a family-friendly event that benefits the kids and the local organizations that serve them. Rocky's Pumpkin Patch is set for Saturday, Oct. 19 at Sand Creek Park, promising an afternoon brimming with free activities and fun. It's a golden opportunity for youth organizations, non-profits, and businesses focused on young people to connect with the community—they're all invited to set up a booth.
As reported in a recent announcement by the City of Coon Rapids, while the pumpkin patch provides free fun to families, there is a nominal fee for participants looking to set up a booth. Businesses are asked to contribute $50; for non-profits and youth organizations, the cost is $25. Exhibitors are responsible for bringing their candy or items to give away.
The event doesn't just offer an escape into the joviality of fall festivities; it also serves as a platform for organizations to amplify their message and possibly reach hundreds of local kids in the process. With the stage set against the backdrop of autumn leaves at Sand Creek Park, it's an intimate gathering not to be missed for those invested in the welfare of the Coon Rapids youth.
Vendor deadlines for this anticipated event are fast approaching. Interested parties must ensure they sign up by Saturday, Oct. 12, as the City of Coon Rapids pointed out. Providing their own treats, vendors will, therefore, need to be armed with plenty of candy or goodies to satisfy the hordes of kids looking to fill their Halloween bags early.
