What better way to prep for Halloween then an old fashioned pumpkin carving party with hot apple cider? How about a party featuring both of those, plus a petting zoo, a candy scavenger hunt, live music, and food and adult beverages? Oh, they also have PUMPKIN ICE CREAM. Press release after the jump.

Stop by the NoMa pumpkin patch on Thursday, October 24, and enjoy happy hour with friends and the cutest petting zoo in the city! Reserve your pumpkin today, and bring some friends to carve your jack-o-lantern. Union Kitchen members will sell beer, wine and more: Running Byrd Tea (hot apple cider), Milk Cult (pumpkin ice cream), and Quickstep Catering (Asian 5 Spice Pulled Pork Sandwich and Edamame Wrap).

Don’t want to get your hands in pumpkin guts? No problem! Hear Sam’O perform live music, and join a candy scavenger hunt for children starting at 5:30 PM.

Finally an event posted on this blog with a time and location. It's great to see some of the usual sloppiness in reporting being cleaned up around here.

Dear person who just the above comment. You are the worst.

I agree with Anon 9:04. Many of the events posted on this blog do not include locations....so it's impossible to attend them.

I see the haters are out early this morning.

This seems more like constructive criticism. The reaction should really be more along the lines of "Thankyou, I do need to work on this." Rather than "Your astute observations are bad, and you are bad." Alas, this is the world we live in....

This is not "constructive criticism." this is hating.

The first comment seems like a comment, with a sense of encouragement. That seems like a nice pat on the back. I'd be glad if I did sloppy work and someone noticed that my work was somewhat less sloppy.
