Kyle’s mask is coming along. Got most of it sewn up and cut to fit. Just a few more modifications and some touchup painting left to do.

Talia has taken a disliking to the thing.
Debating whether to have him wear an “invisible” mask underneath or just rely on facepaint. I’m liking it, but thinking I could do a second much better. Might modify my methods and make a mask for me instead of the appliances I was planning on. I get claustrophobic in masks…badly. We’ll see…
The Pumpkin search made several strides today.
Our current price listing is as follows:
Day Farms: $.16/lb (best price on med-large sizes)
Maceys: $.19/lb
Home Depot: $4 ea
Walmart: *Varies by store. Seen them priced both by lb and by each. Averaging around $2.50 for a ‘normal’ size pumpkin
__________________________________________________
Farm in Harrisville: $.50 1-5lb, $1 5-10lb, $2 10-15lb, $3 15-20lb, etc *will not discount for my purposes as he serves a couple schools and wont have enough.
Country Gardens Nursery: $.20/lb *Likes The Harvest idea, will discount to $.12/lb for my bulk order
Welch’s Produce, Nursery, and Handmade Gifts: $.20/lb *offered 25% discount ($.15/lb) for bulk order, but willing to haggle on that.
—I need to check with Day Farms about a bulk purchase.
But, the question now is, since I’m already doing a bulk purchase at a discount…any of you locally want to jump in on it? What’s a couple more pumpkins when I’m already ordering a ton? (possibly literally)
The mask looks cook. We usually get out pumpkins from a farm in Roy. They sell them pretty cheap. It’s on Main st. like you’re going to go to Roy High, but you just keep driving a mile or so. It’s almost to the 12st. lights/ bridge. I plan to take my kids there and get some Fall pictures of them in the pile of pumpkins they have every year.
on 4800 S? Before or past the Winegars? I think that’s the one I was looking for when we accidentally found Country Gardens last year.
We’ll try to head there this evening.
Day farms is unwilling to give a bulk discount.
Dibble farms across the street from Day farms clocks in at:
$1 small
$1.75 Med
$3 Large
Won’t go under $1, but will let us pick a bulk shipment from the field for $1 ea regardless of size.
So far, Country Gardens is cheapest AGAIN this year, unless you want to go cherry pick big ones at Dibble Farms.
Waiting word from a farm in Syracuse, and want to check back in on a secret supplier…
