Vineyard offers tons of fall fun

A front section of the land was transformed into a pumpkin patch with hundreds ready for the picking.
"(Co-owner) Altus grew up farming, so planting 500 pumpkins is no big deal to him," Kral said.
Guests were treated to a hay ride to the patch, which was especially popular with those carrying the pumpkins back to their vehicles, and around a large portion of the property.
The event also offered a variety of games and activities, including a paintball range, pumpkin bowling, a bean bag toss and a balloon stomp.
Bowling participants attempted to knock down pins with small, round pumpkins, which would occasionally explode on the way down the grassy "lane."
Harleton Junior High School student Hunter Nixon tried his hand at the sport.
"It was cool," he said. "I killed a pumpkin."
"Two, actually," interjected his sister, Maleigha Nixon.
Hunter was impressed with the game, where everyone was declared a winner.
"My school has a festival like this, but they haven't even thought of that yet."
