The 24 club took a field trip to Carroll’s Pumpkin Farm in Grinnell, Iowa. They got to pick out their own pumpkins and they also got to jump on a giant orange pillow. The kids got to feeds goats and play their “playground” which had corn instead of sand on the floor.  They also learned about the growth of pumpkins and ate lunch in an old barn.  Everyone had a great time!  Check it out next year!
