Smoky Hill Bison gate sign

Even though we’ve done the maze and pumpkin patch for years, it’s a lot of work getting it all together.

The planting and tending of the crops is the easy part…and I’d much rather be out pulling weeds than calling for the porta potty delivery, getting fall employees lined up, and unpacking all the fall merchandise in the gift shop.

One of the best outcomes of a deadline is to get some big projects done. We finally got a new sign up by the front gate with our new logo. It’s been on the list since, oh, Memorial weekend, but now it was time to get it up before the fall season starts.

Another deadline was our comercial for the fall season. It will play on Fox Kansas TV, and the Salina movie theater starting Sept. 11th. It’s a fast, colorful 30-second commercial that gives lots of information.

I posted it on YouTube yesterday for “social marketing”. Please pass it on to get it around. We need all the publicity we can get for this quick six-week season, which we’ve been working on for months.

Does it look fun? If you’re in Kansas- please drive in and experience it this fall.
