Martha Stewart-Ish Pumpkins In Rochester Hills

Fri

Not only do I  love fall, as I have mentioned before, but I love October most. I got married in October, and it boasts the best holiday of all, in my opinion: Halloween. Who could not love a holiday that involves dressing up as something fun or beautiful or scary and trooping around at night asking the neighbors for candy? 
So I am extra excited that Halloween-type activities have spread throughout the whole month. Tomorrow, at the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm, there is the Stonewall Pumpkin Festival. For $7, you get a pumpkin to carve and display along the stone wall lining the museum property, which looks very classic and Martha Stewartish.
Other actvities include an Ugly Gourd River Race, old-fashioned games, crafts, pumpkin bowling and more.  The museum includes the 1840 farmhouse, the 1850 Red House, a 1927 dairy barn, and beautifully landscaped grounds.
Events run from 10 am to 4 pm, and lighted pumpkins will be displayed from 7-9 pm at the museum, 1005 Van Hoosen Road. This sounds like it would be especially great for small kids, who can be very freaked out by some of the scarier imagery around the holiday.
