Manchester VT is the quintessential beautiful New England town. Situated in the Equinox Valley, historic Rt 7A runs through it. We were on our way to explore Mount Equinox when we came upon the delightful Community Pumpkin Patch. It's an annual festival held to promote the area's nursery industry, especially pumpkins. The Chamber of Commerce promotes its Guiness record of "Most Pumpkins Carved Simultaneously." An illuminated pumpkin parade is held after dark. Other highlights include wagon rides and a corn maze.
We spent a couple of hours browsing and tasting the delicious food. Apple cider and apple cider donuts were our favorites.
We had to pass on purchasing a pumpkin, but a local woman came prepared with her husband and child's wagon in tow.
We met a couple in the act of a marriage proposal. How romantic!
The creative stagers managed to combine humor with scary things. The headstone reads, "It's hard to smell the roses when you are pushing up daisies."
