You know fall is definitely here when you spot a pumpkin patch. As I covered in that last blog, a slew of fall festivals are coming down the pike. The color orange is appearing in a big way, especially with October right around the corner. One of the most orange and fun fall family events is cranking up October 1st and running through the 31st, Halloween night. As a special bonus, it takes place on the grounds of one of the Lowcountry’s most iconic sites, Boone Hall Plantation. It’s located up Highway 17 north in Mount Pleasant. Turn right at the end of the Isle of Palms Connector, then look for it on your left.

While there, check out the aMAZing Corn Maze
One of the coolest parts of the Pumpkin Patch is the Corn Maze. It’s eight acres of adventure. Each year they have a new design, often quite elaborate and a couple years in the making. This year’s design features the logo of ABC News 4, the presenting sponsor. A GPS-guided bulldozer cut the design into the cornfield. Here is what they say about it: This year the corn maze will be divided into two mazes. There will be a shorter maze for those who just want to have a brief corn maze experience. The longer maze covers the majority of the corn field and is one of complicated twists and turns that will present quite a challenge for the more adventurous explorers. So pick a perfect pumpkin at the Pumpkin Patch, just over the Connector from our Isle of Palms vacation rentals.
