We did the Trolley Ride Pumpkin Festival with our grandbabies and it was great. A perfect amount of time for the Trolley ride, and then 1/2 hr to explore the historic site and pick some pumpkins. We had a great lunch at the Food Court right before our scheduled Trolley time. There was also a little petting farm! Fun memories...
