One of the most innovative argi-tourism sites we have in Madison County is Golub's Our Farm outside of Cazenovia. I recently received an email from Jimmy Golub with his plans for this fall. They sound great:
Jim,
I thought I should bring you up to what I've been doing and planning for this fall. I am excited about having a big year. We hope to have a very good crop. Here's what we're trying:
1: We have a smaller trebuchet, Morris, that can throw smaller objects.
2:The Stratocaster may draw a lot of attention. We sent the photo to Fender to get permission to use the name. They really liked it and gave us permission. They also will probably help me with displays. I might provide some music with a friend (who uses a Strat and myself). Fender may want to use the image also. There has already been a lot of interest in this theme.
3: We've made many more personalized pumpkins than ever before. Besides names, we're focusing on other things that anyone can buy. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Papa, Happy Brithday, Get Well, smiley faces, I Love You, Obama for President , I'm Sorry, peace sign, the Boss, Go Yankees, Go S.U., Boo!, Happy Halloween.
4: We may offer helicopter rides on a few big weekend days so you can see the guitar from the air
5:While the helicopter is there, Kevin Marr of Channel 5 is coming and we will drop pumpkins out of the helicopter while we have a crowd there
6: And my latest inspiration is..........................the Square Pumpkin
I built 2 wooden boxes and I'm having a guy build 10 more. You place the growing pumpkin into the box and hopefully, it will grow into the box........square.
Because there will only be a few, if successful, maybe they could be raffled off to charity and we can get PR from that.
So we have a lot of stuff to promote
Keep in touch
