<p><img decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/misc/pinwheel_dark_orange_50x93.png" alt="Dark Orange Pinwheel" title="Dark Orange Pinwheel" class="pinwheel_left" style="max-width: 50px; max-height:93px; width: 50px; height:93px;">Last year we informed you about the <a href="/?s=Pumpkinpalooza" target="_blank" rel="index follow" title=":">PumpkinPalooza in Sparks at Victorian Square</a>. It was a great time and the various carnival games and free walk throughs of the train and readings at the Glendale Schoolhouse (built in 1864) managed through the <a href="http://sparksmuseum.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Sparks Heritage Museum</a> kept our kids busy and we had a lot of fun. Overall, the PumpkinPalooza is a great event to attend each year with friends and family of all ages.</p>

<p>Last year, more than 5,000 people attended the 2nd annual event and this year the event appears poised to grow exponentially. And it’s all benefiting the <a href="http://nncil.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living</a>. For more information, visit <a href="http://www.pumpkinpalooza.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">www.pumpkinpalooza.org</a>.</p>
<p>Will you be attending the PumpkinPalooza this year? What are you looking forward to during this year’s PumpkinPalooza event? Please leave us a comment below and let us know.  </p>
<h3>About Independent Living for People of Disabilities</h3>
<p>As a former employee of a large national organization that serves people with disabilities, this event means a lot to me, personally.  <a href="http://ucp.org/public-policy" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">The disability movement is one of the last movements fighting for civil rights</a> in much the same ways that people of color did back in the 50s and 60s and women did in the 20s. There is push today for people with disabilities to live in an inclusive environment, within their communities and not in an institutional setting. Please notice that I make the choice not to call people with disabilities, “disabled people”, “handicapped” or going to the extreme of using the word “<a href="http://www.r-word.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">retarded</a>“.  People with disabilities are just people, like you and me.  They just happen to have a disability and are fully entitled to respect, dignity and equality like any other person.  Many people with disabilities can learn life skills that can enable them to live in our communities and give back in ways that are meaningful and benefit the communities we live in. The Northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> Center for Independent Living is “dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with all disabilities by promoting independence through self empowerment, choice and community involvement” and “<a href="http://nncil.org/?page_id=52" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">each person, regardless of the severity of his or her disability, has the potential to grow, develop, and share fully the joys and responsibilities of our society.</a>” That is something that I can stand behind and gladly donate to by attending this event.</p>

<p>Like all modern moms, I decided to try my hand at something I found on Pinterest to see how it might turn out and also thought it might be something fun to do with the kids. So, I took a shot at it.</p>
<p>While working on this craft project, I found that my kids (ages 6 yrs., 3 yrs., and 9 months) lost interest quickly. However, I was determined to make it work and kept at it.  Overall, it took an hour or two to put together and it is something that we can now leave on our door during October, adding to our other festive decorations we have out front.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9386" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9386" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/monster-wreath-comparison.jpg" class="no-eff img-link lightbox" rel="lightbox" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/monster-wreath-comparison.jpg" alt="Monster Wreath: Comparison, 2014 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="640" height="640" class="size-full wp-image-9386" title=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9386" class="wp-caption-text">2014 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>Here’s what some of my Face<a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/books/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">book</a> friends had to say about it:</p>
<p>[block_quote cite=’- Rebecca T.’] Turned out great! [/block_quote] [block_quote cite=’- Jenna K.’] Love this! [/block_quote] [block_quote cite=’- Anonymous’] It looks like a deformed Muppet, but I think it looks better than the original. [/block_quote]</p>

<h3>The Summit’s Pink Pumpkin Festival &amp; Sidewalk Sale</h3>
<h4>Farmers Market, sales and activities support breast cancer awareness</h4>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/misc/pinwheel_pink_50x93.png" alt="Pink Pinwheel" title="Pink Pinwheel" class="pinwheel_left" style="max-width: 50px; max-height:93px; width: 50px; height:93px;">Our friends over at <a href="http://www.thesummitonline.com/reno/events" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">The Summit</a> shared some great information with us here at Windy Pinwheel about a great fall event happening this Saturday to support the effort to find a cure for breast cancer.  As October is nationally known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this is a great cause to get behind. Please come out and support this event this weekend and be sure to spread the word to everyone you know.</p>
<p>The Summit and Renown Children’s Hospital invite families to come out for a day full of autumn harvest fun on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in the center plaza. <span style="font-style:italic;">The Pink Pumpkin Festival and Sidewalk Sale</span> will support breast cancer awareness and will benefit the <a href="http://www.renown.org/give" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Renown Health Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund</a>. The event is free and open to the public. Donations for breast cancer patient assistance are encouraged.</p>

Oct. 4, 2014, Source: The Summit Reno" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-9121" title=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9121" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="//assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/downloads/2014/09/pink_pumpkin_festival_flyer.pdf" target="_blank" rel="index follow" title=":">Download the Flyer</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Event activities that day will include a sidewalk sale, live entertainment, fall farmers market vendors, pink Porcelain Doll pumpkins for sale, face painting, activities for children, health information booths, contests and recyclable bag/gift card giveaways.</p>
<p>Participants can enjoy food and drinks from various vendors at the market, which will feature fresh, local fall produce including grapes, apples, corn, potatoes, garlic, onions, squash, eggs, local honey and more. Also, all guests can enter to win prizes from The Summit, Renown Health and the farmers market.</p>
<p>The pink pumpkin patch, sponsored by <a href="http://www.moananursery.com/" target="_blank" title=":">Moana Nursery</a>, will feature decorative gourds and pumpkins, including the popular Porcelain Doll pumpkins. Moana Nursery has partnered with The Pink Pumpkin Patch Foundation, an organization created in 2012, to aid in the fight against breast cancer. A percentage of proceeds from every pink pumpkin sold this year will go towards organizations involved in breast cancer research.</p>
<p>In conjunction with the event, The Summit will also host its first-ever, center-wide Sidewalk Sale. From 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., shoppers will enjoy the one-day, one-time only sale where exclusive retailers will display racks with sale items in front of their stores. The sidewalk sale will also feature stores including but not limited to <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Ann Taylor</a>, <a href="http://www.claires.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Claire’s</a>, <a href="http://www.gap.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">GAP</a>, <a href="http://oldnavy.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Old Navy</a>, <a href="http://www.orvis.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Orvis</a> and <a href="http://www.talbots.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Talbots</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“This event and sidewalk sale are designed to kick-off breast cancer awareness month in Reno,” said Dan Davis, marketing manager at The Summit. “Many stores and restaurants will provide special pink products and offers, as well as showcase sale items from the <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/things-to-do-in-lake-tahoe/" title=": This summer, take a look at things to do in Lake Tahoe" target="_self">Summer</a>. My hope is those interested in spreading awareness will find that perfect ‘pink’ item to wear or display throughout the entire month.” </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Benefitting from much of the event activities, the Renown Health Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund helps to ease the financial and emotional burden on uninsured and under-insured breast cancer patients throughout northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a>. </p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Our patient assistance funds benefit those in our area who are battling cancer while struggling with financial hardships,” Joel Muller, vice president of the Renown Health Foundation, said. “These dollars help to cover desperately needed prescription, care and travel expenses for our patients. Renown Health is grateful to The Summit for its help and to be a part of this event once again this year.”</p>
</blockquote>

Our experience this year on October 12, 2013, was exceptional as always. During this visit, we visited <a href="applehill.com/cardaninis-pumpkin" target="_blank" title=":">Cardanini’s Pumpkin Patch (#42)</a>, <a href="http://www.applehill.com/rainbow-orchards/" target="_blank" title=":">Rainbow Orchards (#10)</a> and <a href="http://applehill.com/el-dorado-orchards" target="_blank" title=":">El Dorado Orchards (#19)</a>.

<p>Cardanini’s Pumpkin Patch is a very quaint pumpkin patch conveniently located near one of Apple Hill’s busiest and well visited stops, <a href="http://www.applehill.com/high-hill-ranch-2/" target="_blank" title=":">High Hill Ranch (#1)</a>. It is actually right next door to it and their hay ride passes right through this location. While we were there, as it was our first stop, but also nearly lunch time, we grabbed a quick bite to eat. I had a delicious Tri-Tip sandwich and my wife and kids enjoyed a hot dog each.</p>
<p>When we finished our quick and relatively inexpensive meal, we ventured out into the pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch still had every pumpkin on the vine and they were all ready to pick off the vine. When you first enter, you can ask for a pair of pruners to cut the pumpkin off of the vine. With our tool to cut the pumpkin off of the vine we found five very ample sized pumpkins to bring home.</p>
<figure id="attachment_3670" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3670" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/corn-maze.jpg" class="no-eff img-link lightbox" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/corn-maze-250x166.jpg" alt="Apple Hill: Cardanini's Pumpkin Patch Corn Maze, 2013 Copyright Will Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="250" height="166" class="size-medium wp-image-3670" title=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3670" class="wp-caption-text">2013 Copyright Will Hull, Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>While I paid for the pumpkins (a total of $20; I was blown away by the price by the way), the kids ventured through the corn maze (that was free for visitors to navigate through). They had a great time.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for something you haven’t tried yet at Apple Hill or if you’re looking for great people, pumpkins and inexpensive food for Apple Hill, this is the place to stop.</p>

			<h3>Rainbow Orchards (#10)</h3>
<p>Next, we decided to take a drive to Rainbow Orchards. Now that we had our pumpkins in our car and mission the rest of the day was to relax, enjoy the sites and just experience the day. Rainbow Orchards is very well known for their “HOT apple cider DONUTS”. The line for getting some donuts wrapped around their barn/store area. They are very high in demand and well worth the wait. I would highly recommend a stop here just for the donuts.</p>

<p>While we were there, my daughter sat down to get her face painted. She chose a rainbow with a star. It looked very cute on her. She refused to wash her face for the rest of the day and she even made a deal to sleep overnight before she would wash her face paint off. We obliged, being the parents we are, we didn’t want to take away any of her happiness made during that day.</p>
<p>Being in the mid-high 70’s that day, temperature-wise, before we left, we grabbed some mini apple cider cartons. They were the perfect size to quickly quench your thirst as well as the size perfect for a kid to enjoy. It was very tasty.</p>

<p>Our final stop of the day was El Dorado Orchards. We stopped because they have a kid-size train to ride and our kids absolutely love train rides. In fact, we took them on The Polar Express last year; that’s how much they love train rides. Once we took a ride on the train, we again grabbed another snack. We had some nachos, a soda and chips to keep the kids’ hunger at bay for the ride home. While we were at this location I spotted something out of the corner of my eye.</p>

<p>It was a <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/wolf-pack-gear/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Wolf Pack</a> sign. Richard Hight of <a href="mailto:panelman@sbcglobal.net" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Battle Born Metal Works</a>, a Reno, NV resident, was selling some sports signs made out of metal. Each colored to represent the team. He had signs for the <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/wolf-pack-gear/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Wolf Pack</a>, the Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco 49ers and many more. He practically had every major sports team including the <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/wolf-pack-gear/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Wolf Pack</a>. I just had to pick up the vintage Wolfie <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/wolf-pack-gear/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Wolf Pack</a> logo sign. From what I hear from my contacts at Silver and Blue Outfitters, Richard is working on getting licensed by the NCAA and University of <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> to sell them professionally, but for now, they are just a craft item that you can pick up just like many other craft items for sale at just about every location in Apple Hill. I must say that Battle Born Metal Works make quality merchandise and I would gladly buy another one should I run into him again in the future at a local craft show in the area.</p>

<p> Even though we could only make one trip this year to Apple Hill, it was, like always a trip to remember. Our kids really enjoyed the day away from Reno and my eyes, sprit and demeanor always perk up when I get to visit one of my favorite places on Earth.</p>
<p>If you haven’t been to Apple Hill yet, you should definitely make the trip anytime from September through December. It is an experience to remember.</p>
<h3>Let us know what you think</h3>
<p>What’s your favorite stop at Apple Hill and why? We would love to hear your thoughts.</p>

<h3>2013 PumpkinPalooza in Victorian Square in Sparks, NV, October 19-20.</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/misc/pinwheel_dark_orange_50x93.png" alt="Dark Orange Pinwheel" title="Dark Orange Pinwheel" class="pinwheel_left" style="max-width: 50px; max-height:93px; width: 50px; height:93px;">Last year we helped inform you about the <a href="/?s=Pumpkinpalooza" target="_blank" rel="index follow" title=":">PumpkinPalooza in Sparks at Victorian Square</a>. Even though it was a bit windy and chilly (the first cold snap of the fall season), we still had a great time and the various carnival games and free walk throughs of the train and readings at the Glendale Schoolhouse (built in 1864) managed through the <a href="http://sparksmuseum.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Sparks Heritage Museum</a> kept our kids busy and we had a lot of fun. Overall, the PumpkinPalooza is a great event to attend with friends and family of all ages.</p>

<p>Last year, more than 1,500 people attended the inaugural event and this year the event is expected to grow exponentially. And the event benefits the <a href="http://nncil.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Northern Nevada Center for Independent Living</a>. For more information, visit <a href="http://www.pumpkinpalooza.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">www.pumpkinpalooza.org</a>.</p>
<p>Will you be attending the PumpkinPalooza this year? What are you looking forward to during this year’s PumpkinPalooza event? Please leave us a comment below and let us know.  </p>
<h3>About Independent Living for People of Disabilities</h3>
<p>As a former employee of a large national organization that serves people with disabilities, this event means a lot to me, personally.  <a href="http://ucp.org/public-policy" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">The disability movement is one of the last movements fighting for civil rights</a> in much the same ways that people of color did back in the 50s and 60s and women did in the 20s. There is push today for people with disabilities to live in an inclusive environment, within their communities and not in an institutional setting. Please notice that I make the choice not to call people with disabilities, “disabled people”, “handicapped” or going to the extreme of using the word “<a href="http://www.r-word.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">retarded</a>“.  People with disabilities are just people, like you and me.  They just happen to have a disability and are fully entitled to respect, dignity and equality like any other person.  Many people with disabilities can learn life skills that can enable them to live in our communities and give back in ways that are meaningful and benefit the communities we live in. The Northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> Center for Independent Living is “dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with all disabilities by promoting independence through self empowerment, choice and community involvement” and “<a href="http://nncil.org/?page_id=52" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">each person, regardless of the severity of his or her disability, has the potential to grow, develop, and share fully the joys and responsibilities of our society.</a>” That is something that I can stand behind and gladly donate to simply by attending this year’s event.</p>

Yesterday, both Windy Pinwheel families attended the <a href="http://pumpkinpalooza.org" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">PumpkinPalooza</a> event.  This was the first annual PumpkinPalooza hosted by the <a href="http://nncil.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Nevada Center for Independent Living</a>. It was a good showing for a first annual event just before the  <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/halloween/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Halloween</a> holiday.</p>

<p>We arrived around 3:00 PM and the affair ran from noon to 7:00 PM, so the festivities were already in full swing.  Pumpkin-designed balloons as well as black and orange plain balloons were in many places and we could even see the balloons as we were driving in on the freeway near John Ascuaga’s Nugget when arriving to attend the PumpkinPalooza event.</p>
<p>The weather, I’ll admit was a factor in attendance yesterday.  The first cold snap of the season decended upon the Truckee Meadows yesterday and it really impacted the event.  The wind was a force to be reckoned with as it pushed the tents covering the carnival games that were held down by sand bags and by the time we were leaving the event around 4:30 PM, the volunteers, mostly from the University of <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a>, Reno, ROTC, Delta Delta Delta sorority and Phi Delta Theta Fraternity were taking them down.</p>

<p>It brought a sense of pride to see a local soroity and fraternity volunteering at this event, as the Windy Pinwheel authors were all Greeks during our undergraduate college experience.  We are each SigEp (University of <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a>, Reno), Delta Gamma (University of <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a>, Reno) and Alpha Chi Omega (San Diego State University) alumni.</p>

<p>We started off by touring the area.  There was a lot to see and do that we wanted to scope it out first.  We headed over by the <a href="http://sparksmuseum.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Sparks Heritage Museum</a> that hosts “a vintage steam locomotive, cupola caboose and Pullman executive car… displayed along with a depot replica, the restored one room Glendale Schoolhouse and a monument to the Chinese rail workers.” (Source: <a href="http://sparksmuseum.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Sparks Heritage Museum website</a>).  The train was open and free to walk through.  However, there were no guided tours, they were self-paced. My son absolutely loves trains so it was an experience we couldn’t pass up.</p>
<figure id="attachment_781" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-781" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pumpkinpalooza-13.jpg" class="no-eff img-link lightbox" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pumpkinpalooza-13-250x187.jpg" alt="PumpkinPalooza: Glendale School Story Time, 2012 Copyright Will Hull, Windy Pinwheel" title="PumpkinPalooza: Glendale School Story Time" width="250" height="187" class="size-medium wp-image-781"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-781" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Will Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>Next, we headed over to the Glendale Schoolhouse (built in 1864).  It was a very rare occasion because in all my 30+ years on this Earth living in the Reno/Sparks area, minus a couple when my wife and I were in Las Vegas for a year and Washington, DC for five more, I have never seen this one-room school house open to the public.  I couldn’t pass up this opportunity.  We all went inside.  While in the schoolhouse, a local educator was present and reading <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/books/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">book</a>s to children.  This was too cool. It was an experience I will never forget, seeing my kids sitting in those old antique desks listening during story time. When the teacher was done reading her <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/books/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">book</a>, she gave away some <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/books/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">book</a>s to those listening.  We chose <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0140504419/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0140504419&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=hullabstorie-20" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Ox-Cart Man</a>.  This experience truly made my day and a memory for me with my family.</p>
<figure id="attachment_771" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-771" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pumpkinpalooza-3.jpg" class="no-eff img-link lightbox" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pumpkinpalooza-3-150x150.jpg" alt="PumpkinPalooza: At the Cantina Los Tres Hombres, 2012 Copyright Will Hull, Windy Pinwheel" title="PumpkinPalooza: At the Cantina Los Tres Hombres" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-771"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-771" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Will Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>When storytime was over, we headed back over to the carnival games and played a couple. “Tip the Troll” and the softball toss into the milk can were my kids’ favorities.  Each of the kids got a reward of a Dum Dum sucker or a plastic spider ring for playing. They also had the game where you take a hammer and hit a button with it and it is supposed to fling the chicken into the pot and they had a ring toss over some Coca-Cola bottles. These games were also fun to watch my kids play.</p>
<figure id="attachment_779" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-779" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pumpkinpalooza-11.jpg" class="no-eff img-link lightbox" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pumpkinpalooza-11-150x150.jpg" alt="PumpkinPalooza: Live Music, 2012 Copyright Will Hull, Windy Pinwheel" title="PumpkinPalooza: Live Music" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-779"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-779" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Will Hull, Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>We stopped and listened to <a href="http://www.note-ables.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">The Note-Ables</a> play on the stage next to the <a href="http://greatbasinbrewingco.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">Great Basin Brewery</a> and I have to admit, they were really, really good. The Note-Ables are a band of varying abilities as some are people with disabilities.  In fact, the Note-Ables are not just a band, it is also a “nonprofit organization with a primary purpose of providing inclusive music programs and music therapy services for children and adults of all ages and abilities.” All-in-all, I found it to be a great time and I hope to see the band again at another local event.</p>
<h3>About Independent Living for People of Disabilities</h3>
<p>As a former employee of a large national organization that serves people with disabilities, this event meant a lot to me, personally.  <a href="http://ucp.org/public-policy" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">The disability movement is one of the last movements fighting for civil rights</a> in much the same ways that people of color did back in the 50s and 60s and women did in the 20s. There is push today for people with disabilities to live in an inclusive environment, within their communities and not in an institutional setting.  Many people with disabilities can learn life skills that can enable them to live in our communities and give back in ways that are meaningful and benefit the communities we live in. The Northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> Center for Independent Living is “dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with all disabilities by promoting independence through self empowerment, choice and community involvement” and “<a href="http://nncil.org/?page_id=52" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">each person, regardless of the severity of his or her disability, has the potential to grow, develop, and share fully the joys and responsibilities of our society.</a>” That is something that I can stand behind and gladly give to by attending this event.</p>
<p>I can only hope that this event gets bigger and better every year.  Also, I hope that the weather will cooperate next year as well.</p>
<p>Thank you to the Northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> Center for Independent Living for putting on such a great event and I’ll be looking forward to next year.</p>

<h3>Pumpkin derby, pumpkin show-n-shine, pumpkin pageant, pumpkin pie-eating contest… it’s a PumpkinPalooza!</h3>
<p>This Sunday, October 21, 2012, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM PDT, at Victorian Square in Sparks, <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a>, the Northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> Center for Independent Living, a local nonprofit organization that works to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities by promoting independent living is hosting its first annual <a href="http://pumpkinpalooza.org/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">PumpkinPalooza</a>.  All proceeds will benefit the nonprofit and that makes this <a href="http://willhull.com/" target="_blank" rel="external" title=":">nonprofit professional</a> very happy to know that a nonprofit organization is benefiting from the festivities.  “Event organizers also will benefit from support from the city of Sparks and several businesses on Victorian Avenue, including Great Basin Brewery, Cantina Los Tres Hombres and John Ascuaga’s Nugget” <a href="http://www.rgj.com/article/20121019/LIV09/310190005?gcheck=1&amp;nclick_check=1" title=": Reno Gazette Journal Article" target="_blank" rel="external">writes Michael Martinez of the Reno Gazette Journal</a>.</p>

<p>There will also be live musical entertainment at this event. “We’ve got mostly rock ‘n’ roll and a jazz quartet in the middle of the day, but it starts with rock ‘n’ roll, dance music, then mellower music and finishes with rock ‘n’ roll,” said Kat Wilson, who organized the PumpkinPalooza’s entertainment and will perform with her band, Pocket City (Source: <a href="http://www.rgj.com/article/20121019/LIV09/310190005?gcheck=1&amp;nclick_check=1" title=": Reno Gazette Journal Article" target="_blank" rel="external">Reno Gazette Journal</a>).  Cicus Circus will also provide various carnival games during the event.</p>
<p>With so many things to witness and do as a part of the event festivities, this sounds like a great experience in the making. As a fan of all things Fall and <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/halloween/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Halloween</a>, this sounds like the perfect event for my family to attend.  I am really excited that we have another event in the community where we will showcase why living in Northern <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a> is the best place on Earth. Why would we want to live anywhere else?</p>
<p>Will you be attending this event?  What are you most excited about seeing/experiencing?</p>

<p>Before we began our reviews, we want to give you some backstory. This review was difficult to write, and we struggled over whether we should post it at all. We started this site with the hope of promoting local businesses to families around town. Businesses suitable for families and kids. We were hesitant to post something negative. Especially since we have so few posts at this point and since we’re so new to the blogging community and an organization in Reno, <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/nevada-proud/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Nevada</a>.</p>
<p>Our husbands helped in that regard. Would we want our close friends to have the same experience? <strong>The answer was an easy and emphatic, no.</strong> That’s why we finally decided to post this review.</p>
<p>Our goal with Windy Pinwheel is to inform parents around town about opportunities to enjoy time with their kids. It also serves to provide honest opinions from our point(s) of view. We understand that not all may feel the same way or agree with our assessment, but this is our take on the <a title=": Toll House Pumpkin Patch" href="http//www.tollhousepumpkins.com/" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Toll House Pumpkin Patch</a> located in south Reno.<a id="lauren" name="lauren" title=":"></a></p>
<h3>Lauren’s Take</h3>
<figure id="attachment_679" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-679" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-2.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-679" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Lauren and her son, C" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-2-250x167.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Lauren and her son, C, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="250" height="167"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-679" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p><img decoding="async" class="pinwheel_left" title="Lime Green Pinwheel" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/misc/pinwheel_lime_50x93.png" alt="Lime Green Pinwheel">I wanted to like the <a title=": Toll House Pumpkin Patch" href="http//www.tollhousepumpkins.com/" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Toll House Pumpkin Patch</a>. I really did. I wanted to take my son there and have him experience the joy of my favorite season in all of it’s pumpkin and hay glory. Christine had purchased some <a title=": Deal Chicken Reno, NV" href="http://www.dealchicken.com/reno-nv" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Dealchicken.com</a> coupons, so we assumed were getting a great deal on some classic honest family fun. Well, you know what they say about assuming…</p>
<p>Problems began immediately when we tried to enter the pumpkin patch. Christine had the voucher information on her iPhone and gingerly handed it over to the attendant. He asked us what it was. She explained they were the vouchers she had purchased online. He asked for the printed copies. Well, we didn’t print copies since we have the electronic version on the phone (trying to stay as “green” as possible and not waste paper). In a surprising spat of rudeness, we were informed that they only accept printed copies, couldn’t write our voucher numbers down, and they didn’t understand what was wrong with us. After all, everyone else printed them out. He looked as us in this moment like we were from a different planet.</p>
<figure id="attachment_676" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-676" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-9.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-676" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Pumpkins" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-9-150x150.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Pumpkins, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="150" height="150"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-676" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright<br>Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>Well, I was ready to forfeit my $15 right there and walk away. I’m not interested in staying in a place where the business owners don’t seem to care about my business. However, dragging the kids back to the cars would involve a lot of screaming. So, in the end, I drove home to pick up two printed copies of the vouchers so we would be allowed into the pumpkin patch.</p>
<p>In the interim, Christine dropped another $20 for 22 tickets. Each event in the Toll House Pumpkin Patch costs a certain number of tickets per participant. The bounce houses were four tickets each, the pony ride five, etc. After handing the printed vouchers to the attendant (whom at this point I was visibly annoyed with), I returned to find Christine and the kids inside of a bounce house. In fact, they were <span style="font-style: italic;">literally</span> locked in the bounce house area. To make sure no one sneaks into attractions without paying, each one is locked with a cable lock. This is fine if someone mans the attraction at all times. <span style="font-style: italic;"><strong>Not so fine</strong></span> when the attendant walks away and leaves paying patrons locked inside. So, it was back to the ticket booth to get assistance to open the gate and let the kids and Christine out. My son didn’t take that part so well, being only three years-old and all.</p>
<figure id="attachment_682" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-682" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-5.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-682" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Train Ride" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-5-150x150.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Train Ride, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="150" height="150"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-682" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright<br>Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>Our vouchers included a train ride, and since the kids were excited about this attraction, we piled into the little train car and went for a ride around the property. Toll House has wooden decorations sprinkled throughout the wooded area of the train path (the train is not on tracks but on wheels in a modfied small motorized vehicle) of <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/halloween/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Halloween</a> characters like Frankenstien’s monster, Snow White’s witch, etc. Alas, the cutouts looked decades old with pealing paint and broken arms. Needless to say, these cutouts did little to impress me; to a child, they wouldn’t care as much as I do about the appearance of these cutouts. There were also lights strung around part of the train course so the experience may be different at night, depending on the lighting, ambiance and what company you’re with.</p>
<figure id="attachment_681" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-681" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-4.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-681" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Pony at the Ready" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-4-250x167.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Pony at the Ready, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="250" height="167"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-681" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>Little A wanted to ride the ponies, so Christine dropped the last ten tickets (roughly $10) on a pony ride for her and C. A went up to the pony like a pro and couldn’t wait to ride. My son, on the other hand, took one look at the horses and said, “no way.” He refused to leave the gate, so we stood for the duration of the ride, cheering A on. After a five minute ride with the ponies tied to a circular track, the fun was over and A hopped down. We asked if we could get the tickets back because C chose not to ride. After all, he never went near the horse. We were told, “no refunds.” Annoyed and even more frustrated with this place, I took off and headed for the exit. I wanted off this crazy ride of an experience. Christine stayed long enough to hear the attendant say (I’m not joking here. These were his exact words) he was in a “mean mood today so there will be no refunds.” I’m glad I didn’t hear that. I would have lost it. A mean mood with a 3 year old? What; you’ve got to be kidding me!?!</p>
<p>By this time, I wanted to get out of there. There was literally nothing redeeming about this pumpkin patch, <strong>at all</strong>. The animals in a makeshift petting zoo looked miserable and sad, the hay maze (which was actually a hay pyramid with bounce houses on top of the twenty foot structure) looked dangerous enough to break a bone or quite possibly worse maim someone, the train ride was subpar at best, and for the final kicker, the pumpkins were ridiculously overpriced at $14 a pumpkin for a decent store-sized one. But what irked me the most was the abysmal customer service we received. Together, we spent over $50 at the Toll House Pumpkin Patch. <strong><span style="font-style: italic;">You would like to think that would garner some sort of customer appreciation. We were wrong.</span></strong></p>
<figure id="attachment_673" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-673" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-7.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-673" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Cows in a Pen" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-7-150x150.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Cows in a Pen, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="150" height="150"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-673" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright<br>Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>I’m not sure if it was the day we went (a late Tuesday afternoon), or moods were just off, but our entire experience was pretty awful. To be fair however, we left without trying all their attractions. The Toll House Pumpkin Patch also offers carnival rides (they weren’t set up when we went there), the aforementioned hay maze, a makeshift putt putt course (nothing fancy here), and apparently a greased pig competition (where the first person to catch the running greased pig wins cash) on the weekends. However, we didn’t want to give this place anymore of our money and decided to cut our losses.</p>
<p>It costs absolutely nothing to treat your customers with respect! I could have forgiven so much else that was wrong with this pumpkin patch had we received that. However, the terrible service merely exemplified and augmented the Toll House Pumpkin Patch’s other flaws. It is my recommendation that you skip this attraction and spend some quality family time at <a title=": View our write up about Apple Hill" href="https://windypinwheel.com/fall-at-apple-hill/" target="_blank" rel="follow index me noopener">Apple Hill (view our write up about it here)</a>, where not only will you have a more enjoyable time, but you will be treated leaps and bounds better than Toll House Pumpkin Patch would treat a patron on its best day. Upon leaving, the ticket booth attendant yelled out to make sure we mention Toll House Pumpkin Patch to our friends. <span style="font-style: italic;">Don’t worry, we will.</span><a id="christine" name="christine" title=":"></a></p>
<h3>Christine’s Take</h3>
<figure id="attachment_678" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-678" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-1.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-678" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Christine and her Kids" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-1-250x167.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Christine and her Kids, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="250" height="167"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-678" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p style="font-style: italic;">I will offer this disclaimer in addition to our disclaimer above, I am very used to pumpkin patches held at farms that have a more harvest festival feeling versus the Toll House Pumpkin Patch which has more of a carnival atmostphere. So, perhaps my expectations were set up for failure from the beginning. These fall harvest festivals that we visited at <a title=": View our write up about Apple Hill" href="https://windypinwheel.com/fall-at-apple-hill/" target="_blank" rel="follow index me noopener">Apple Hill</a> and northern Virginia include a large pumpkin patch, live music, canned and baked goods for sale, corn mazes, slides to ride on with a burlap sack, livestock and demonstrations with them such as how to milk a cow, etc. <a title=": View the Cox Family Farms website" href="http://www.coxfarms.com/" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Cox Family Farms</a> is a good example of a place we visited while living in Virginia/Washington, DC metropolitan area.</p>
<p>When I saw the email come through on October 1st for the Toll House Pumpkin Patch, I immediately jumped at the chance to buy two vouchers which gave us, what I thought was enough entertainment for four people. I figured this would work for my family or for Lauren and I to take the kids.</p>
<p>Our daughter, A, loves pumpkins in the sense that she would have her own pumpkin patch on our front porch if we let her, so immediately when we arrived, she grabbed a Radio Flyer wagon and started loading up. She was excited to see the animals and my son was beyond thrilled that there was a train; or as he would call it a “choo-choo.” When we first walked up, there was no one to be found to “check in” with and I had no idea what to do exactly. So, we finally found someone, who we later discovered was the owner and, as Lauren explained above, he was not willing to take the vouchers via my iPhone app. I called my husband who printed them and Lauren generously offered to drive to our house and get the vouchers. In the meantime I knew the kids needed to get involved in one of the activities. Otherwise we would wind up with an entire wagon full of pumpkins and a heart broken child who would learn that we can’t take that many home with us (we didn’t know how much each pumpkin cost just yet).</p>
<figure id="attachment_680" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-680" style="width: 150px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-3.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-680" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: View of a Bounce House" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-3-150x150.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: View of a Bounce House, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="150" height="150"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-680" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright<br>Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>I walked the kids over to the bounce house area and had to choose which one I would pay a total of 12 tickets for (keep in mind, I paid $20 for 22 tickets, so you can see how much one bounce house cost for three kids), the kids saw one that they liked and ran in. Unfortunately, the one they chose was a very old set of bounce houses and the kids quickly discovered there was no way to get to the top of the slide as dilapidated as the climbing aparatus was on this bounce house in particular. Regardless, the toddlers they are, they were determined. They always love a bounce house; even if it is in poor condition. Just about when the kids were done with this particular area, we saw Lauren return to the pumpkin patch. It was time for the train!</p>
<p>The boys were very excited and told us to “hop on”. In the mean time, we heard the owner telling the train operator that we had a “special deal” and were paid up for the train. Regardless of the frustration I had built up, I was determined to have the kids enjoy themselves. So we climbed in and started our ride. On a positive note, the train ride goes for quite some time around the property. We rode over a small creek and through a tree lined area. I can see how it can be lit up at night. It just might be really nice, but with toddlers I would be very unlikely to be there at dusk or further, at dark.</p>
<figure id="attachment_674" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-674" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a class="no-eff img-link lightbox" href="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-7a.jpg" title=":"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-674" title="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Cows" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/toll-house-pumpkin-patch-7a-250x167.jpg" alt="Toll House Pumpkin Patch: Cows, 2012 Copyright Christine Hull, Windy Pinwheel" width="250" height="167"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-674" class="wp-caption-text">2012 Copyright Christine Hull, <br>Windy Pinwheel</figcaption></figure>
<p>After the train ride, we walked to the back of the property and talked about all of the animals, made animal sounds with our kids and said hello to the cows. The kids chased some chickens and we discovered an area of dump trucks, ride on cars and plastic teeter totters. The boys immediately ran for the dump trucks.</p>
<p>While they were having fun we knew we still had ten tickets and four pumpkins to pick out. That is when Lauren and I walked with A &amp; C to ride the ponies. A loves horses and rides them on her own already, so I knew this wasn’t going to be the most exciting for her, but she loves animals and she was excited to show her skills. She sat right up in the saddle like a pro and the operator started off being really nice. He complimented her confidence and walked the horse around the circle. Because C decided he wasn’t really interested in the horse afterall, we did ask if we could have the five tickets back and were told he could go to the hay “maze” instead, which I then said that we did not want the children playing in that area and was told “there are no refunds, I am feeling mean today.” By this point, I was ready to go home. I was incredibly disappointed in my experience. We picked out our pumpkins and headed out (as big of pumpkins as our deal would allow us, and they weren’t very big at all). I was so frustrated with the customer service we were given. Further, I was shocked and amazed that, as we were leaving, we were told to “tell our friends and come back soon.”</p>

<p>I feel that, for me, my most important reason for sharing this story, is that I consider my role with this site as being a voice for parents who want to give their children memorable, yet affordable experiences and with this particular experience I would not recommend any of my friends spend their money on it.</p>

<h3>Surprise your kids and make their day with these <strong><em><u>free <a href="https://windypinwheel.com/product-category/halloween/" rel="tag" target="_self" title=":">Halloween</a> themed printable lunch box love notes</u></em></strong> for their lunch boxes.</h3>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://assets.windypinwheel.com/wp-content/uploads/misc/pinwheel_orange_50x93.png" alt="Orange Pinwheel" title="Orange Pinwheel" class="pinwheel_left" style="max-width: 50px; max-height:93px; width: 50px; height:93px;">I found these little tin mail boxes for our kids and wanted to leave them little notes in the weeks before Valentine’s Day and found that the notes were a nice little way for them to wake up each morning. I laminated the little notes before I put them in their lunch boxes, and with one child teething at the time it was best to protect the little notes so they lasted through the day.</p>
<p>Being a full time working parent sending my children off to school can be tough some days. There are days when I miss them so much, sending a little “love note” in their lunch boxes is a small way I can remind them half way through their day how much I love them. I like to picture them sitting at their cute preschool tables unpacking their lunches and finding a fun new “love note”.</p>

						<div class="articlesponsorship_terms">By sponsoring this article, your sponsorship will display for a period of 180 days (6 months). If, for any reason, and it is up to the discretion of the authors of Windy Pinwheel, we feel content linked to or the name provided does not coincide with the objectives of this site for our audience we will issue a refund and pull the sponsorship of the article.  This action does not limit you from sponsoring an article on our site again.  However, by sponsoring again, we will issue the same review criteria as the prior sponsorship and if it fails, we will follow the same process as before and issue a refund and pull down the sponsorship.  We truly appreciate the support of our audience and hope you can help offset our costs of operating this site by sponsoring our site articles.<br><br>For all reviews, please exercise discretion. If the sponsor of the article is in conflict of the topic of the article, we will pull down the sponsorship to remove any conflict of interest with the article at-hand.  For instance, there is an article about a hamburger restaurant and a competing hamburger restaurant sponsors the article; we will pull the sponsorship and issue a refund.</div>
