Gov. Mike Pence visited the 41st annual Stonycreek Farm Pumpkin Harvest Festival on Oct. 26. The governor expressed his thanks to Stonycreek Farm owner Loren Schmierer for his dedication to promoting agri-tourism and for helping Hoosiers make lasting memories at the Noblesville farm. What began as a small pumpkin patch in 1972 has grown into a 50-acre, full-service nursery and landscaping business and wedding or party venue, complete with hayrides and a zipline. Stonycreek Farm Nursery & Landscaping once served as a Native American trade route and was the site of an old gristmill. For more information, visit www.stonycreekfarm.net or call 773-3344.
