Perkasie Borough is delighted to present our first Pumpkin Hunt in 2020. This is intended to be a fun, active way to explore the town while having some fall fun with our local business owners.
During the month of October 2020 more than 30 Perkasie Borough businesses will display a pumpkin in their window.Click this link to find a list of participating businesses
Many of them have little freebie giveaways if you call in while they are open. Cafes and restaurants have fall flavor drinks and treats for you to enjoy as you hunt. Please wear a mask if you drop in.
Here are some other ideas for pumpkin fun in October:
Check out a pumpkin book from the Perkasie Library
“We’re Going on a Pumpkin Hunt” by Mary Wilcox gives a fresh, fall take on the classic bear hunt story that we all know and love- “How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow” by Wendell Minor celebrates a host of famous landmarks and landscapes, plays with concepts of size and scale, and is full of fun facts
- “The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin” by Joe Troiano delivers a special message of tolerance and kindness in a fun, accessible format for early learners
Pumpkin is likely the most recognizable flavors of Fall, and you can find many ways to enjoy it in “Purely Pumpkin: More Than 100 Seasonal Recipes to Share, Savor, and Warm Your Kitchen” by Allison Day.
Carving pumpkins is a classic October activity, but there are simple crafts that can be enjoyed by even the littlest members of the family.
