BISMARCK, ND (KXNET) — As we brush closer and closer to winter, today marks the end of one autumn staple -- Papa's Pumpkin Patch! Today marked Papa's last day for the season, and they celebrated with tons of games and activities. Owner Papa David Pearce calls his patch one of the best pumpkin patches in the country, and this year was their 41st season. For just under five weeks this fall, Papa got to offer North Dakotans with a lot more than just pumpkins. The patch had bale mazes, nature trails, log jams, and tons of concessions, along with a fall-themed gift store. Papa, again, wants to thank the public for a great year!
