EAST HAMPTON, Conn. — An overload of bright orange in East Hampton is always part of the landscape each fall at Pumpkintown USA.
The family-owned business is celebrating 30 years of their popular Pumpkin Village outside of their mainstay storefront Paul's & Sandy’s Too – a hardware and gardening center.
“Basically, what Pumpkintown Village is – it’s a quintessential little New England town but it’s inhabited by pumpkin-headed characters,” said Dan Peszynski, the owner of Pumpkintown USA, smiling.
Ultimately, Peszynski agreed that his enterprise has become “agri-tainment," drawing visitors from all around the region to enjoy a Halloween experience.
“This time of year, people are trying to get outdoors and what’s better than taking a hayride, coming down and picking out pumpkins, picking up mums and just having good family entertainment?”
Bella Peszynski, Dan’s 23-year-old daughter, is now a familiar face on the property – especially during the month of October when their customer base continues to grow.
“It’s a lot of people’s family tradition, so for us to be part of that is a really cool thing that people come every year bringing their kids and their grandkids,” Bella said.
Pumpkintown USA brought back their hayride this year after a long stretch without it. The 20-minute farm excursion runs each day, numerous times a day, through Halloween.
