One of the fun pieces we designed and crafted for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch was this giant pumpkin carriage. It is made from sculpted concrete over a welded steel frame. It was designed to roll - just far enough to get it into place, as the path to its display space in the Storybook Land was too narrow for the crane and too far to reach by lifting over the nearby fences and trees. Although it was a tough challenge, our plan worked perfectly, and guests to the farm continue to enjoy taking a picture with their families in the giant pumpkin.
Second and third place
We were very pleased to receive our copy of this year’s Signs of the Times magazine award issue and see we had been honoured with a second and third place in the Best Signshop-Designed and Fabricated Sign, Not Internally Illuminated category.
Jan's Carousel signs
The beautiful Carousel at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch is named in honour of Jan, one of the founders of the farm. The prancing horse was sculpted by Peter, and the sign lettering is 23K gold leaf. The two weathervanes on the buildings feature the Mustang horse because Jan’s prized car was a Ford Mustang.
