I love road trips where I supervise the installations. Our crew works hard for weeks or even months, creating the pieces. The process often starts months and sometimes years prior with our client consultations and design process. When I’m on-site, I realize how important our work is. It starts with the unloading of the truck as staff and contractors look over the latest additions to the farm. So many players make our projects a reality. Everyone is excited to add their important part to the magic. This project involves many different trades and disciplines. Each has to blend their skills to tell a single story. In six weeks, Valas Pumpkin Patch will open for the 2026 season. Hundreds of thousands of guests will visit and create memories with family and friends. Our work will play a small part in that joy. And that is a cool thing I’ll never take for granted.
