Sharkie 500 and Stickley Farms Fun

This week-end we headed up to the Bristol racetrack to watch the Sharkie 500. You pay $10 for a foam shark that floats down a little creek. The winner gets a boat and the proceeds go to the Children's Hospital. There was quite the turn out, lots of crafts and fun stuff for the kids and it was free to boot! After the race (we are still hoping and waiting to find out which shark finished first) we headed to Stickley Farm Pumpkin Patch to get Maddie a Halloween Pumpkin. This farm was awesome. There was a pumpkin patch, corn maize, lots of playground equipment and a hayride. I'm not sure how many acres the farm sat on, but it was huge. Lots of wide open spaces for everyone to run around and kick back. Plus, the bluegrass music in the background and all the lazy dogs taking their afternoon naps added to the festive atmosphere. Good times.
