What’s all the chatter? 4205 Burnt Creek Loop!

🎃 Papa’s Pumpkin Patch has a big announcement, and 🎃 Big news! After 42 magical seasons, Papa’s Pumpkin Patch is passing the baton (“and for now, the location!”) — and the story couldn’t be more perfect.

But first — A VERY BIG THANK YOU. 🧡 Thank you for bringing your children, and then bringing their children. Thank you for making Papa’s more than just another pumpkin patch — you made it a tradition, a gathering place, and a cherished piece of what makes Bismarck-Mandan home.

We are so in debt and full of gratitude to our close family, friends, partner organizations, long-time and one-time volunteers (thousands) that helped create this magical place. All have a stake in what has hosted over a million guests. We couldn’t have done this without you! We are humbled and grateful beyond words. You are the MAGIC….

Some 30 years ago, a young boy named Chase rode his pony to Papa’s behind his Grandpa Al. He and his siblings started offering pony rides (literally) out of their pockets. And by days’ end…out spilled too many crumpled up DOLLAR BILLS. Dad made Chase share the profits with Papa, and the story was so “entrepreneurial” it’s become a 30-year tradition and partnership! “It has been my dream since I was 11 years old,” Chase says. We can say some dreams come true.

Now, Chase and Grandpa Al’s Hayrides are taking the reins of Papa’s Pumpkin Patch. 🐴🍂 Same magic. Same community, New chapter, NEW PLACE (same as COVID year) 🍂 See you in the patch this fall!
