Don’t forget to head over to Stu Miller’s Pumpkin Patch before it closes it doors for the season! Located right across the street from HTHNC, Stu Miller’s features everything from carnival games, inflatable slides, and a petting zoo. The pumpkin patch is perfect for an evening of family friendly fun or a quick venture out during advisory.
