Thank you so much for joining Colorado Springs Moms Blog, along with an amazing team of local sponsors, for our Kick-Off to Fall Family Festival.

What a wonderful kick-off to Fall! We were so honored to gather over 800 Colorado Springs area parents and kids last Saturday at our Fall Family Festival. In partnership with Chris Clonts, REALTOR, The Front Range Home Team & Davita Medical Group, we spent the day celebrating all things fall.  An ALL-INCLUSIVE event for the whole family, this year’s event took place at Long Neck Pumpkin Farm property.

The Venue :: Long Neck Pumpkin Farm

Long Neck Pumpkin Farm graciously opened their doors on Saturday, September 22nd and hosted all the wonderful families in attendance. The farm was full of local vendor tables and so many activities….hayrides, farm animals, hay bale slide, duck races, bean bag toss, building blocks, corn boxes, bowling, tractor swings, tether ball, puppet theater, tic tac toe, checkers, water pump station, little library, story time, wagon train, children’s market, photo ops, and MORE!)
