🍁🎃 Hey friends! Let’s kick off fall together with some Pumpkin Patch, Corn Maze & Halloween Fun at Richardson Adventure Farm! 🌽👻

We’re spending the day-into-night at the farm — exploring the pumpkin patch, conquering the world’s largest corn maze, hopping on hayrides, enjoying wine tasting, and capping it all off with our own private bonfire party! 🔥🍷✨

We had such a blast last year that we’re bringing it back — hope you’ll join us! 🙌

🍂🔥 PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY DOWN - LOTS OF INFO! 🔥🍂

I’ve rented a big bonfire spot so we can gather around the fire, enjoy good food & drinks, and spend time together. Some of you I haven’t seen in a while, so I’m especially looking forward to catching up! In addition to our campfire party, the farm itself stays open until 11 pm and has TONS of activities—so bring your kids, your adult kids, your grandkids… even your dogs (on a leash)! 🐶 The more the merrier!

Here’s the scoop:
📍 Meet-Up Plan

• We’ll gather around 1 PM at the entrance by the ticket booths.
• Coming later? Just call/text me (312-835-4259) to find us!

🔥 Our Bonfire Rental (5–9 PM)

• Includes 4 picnic tables + electrical outlets (yes, we can plug in crockpots!)
• All must chip in $7 each to cover rental costs.
• Bring a chair + blanket/jacket — it gets chilly after sunset.

• 🍫🔥 Planning on s’mores — does anyone have long skewers?

✨ Bonus: Friends of mine are renting the campsite next to ours, so we’ll have a joint party of ~40 people! 🎉

We’ll have the campfire until 9 PM, but they usually let us hang out until around 10 PM or later. After that, we’ll pack up and call it a night.

🌞🎶 People will be coming and going throughout the day — some early birds, some night owls, and some hanging in for the full ride! Whether you stay for a bit or the whole show, it’ll be great to connect. Let’s just hope the weather cooperates! 🌤️🍻

🍁🎶 Expect cozy vibes, good food, plenty of laughs, and a night under the stars!
