Pumpkinfest is underway at Didier Farms, where visitors can purchase pumpkins and participate in a variety of outdoor activities. The Prairie View farm offers hayrides, camel rides and pony rides; a corn maze and straw maze; a petting zoo with exotic animals; crafts, and kiddie rides.

Attendees can pay for specific activities, which range from $3 to $5, or purchase a $13-wristband for admission to nearly everything from 9 a.m. to noon on weekdays.

Weekend activities also include pig races. Patch reader Michael Glaskin-Clay shared an image from a recent race on Buffalo Grove Patch’s Facebook page; “like” us here to view it and get additional updates from Patch.

Pumpkinfest runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Oct. 31. The farm stand is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. Visit Didier Farms’ website for more information.
