A Message from George

I had the opportunity to chat online with George our Pumpkin Patch/Christmas Tree friend.

"Hey Bill, This is George. I'll be seeing you guys in November. Sorry to miss you guys for pumpkin season, but I've been busy. Take care of Aaron for me til I get back. I'll be here for a lil while, so hit me back..."

So, contrary to the assumptions and rumors, George is not sick and will be returning to his Christmas Tree duties in November.

In the meantime, be sure to check out these pumpkin videos and make a purchase from Aaron before Halloween!

TREE LOT FINAL CLEAN-UP

I was just about to break for lunch when I heard noises outside early this afternoon. George's crew of "elves" had arrived to clean up George's Pumpkin Patch/Christmas Tree Lot! I ran for the camera, of course!

Four guys pulled fence poles, loaded everything on a stake truck and proceeded to sweep and rake the entire area!

George is a very good guy from Shiocton, Wisconsin, who has been running the Patch/Tree Lot at 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road in Rogers Park for a number of years.

He was unsure if he would return in 2009. His business was very slow this year, although the pumpkins and trees were some of the finest!

George has been a good neighbor these past several months. His was a good, local (though temporary) business, which should have been better-supported by the community. IF he returns, I hope Rogers Park and the surrounding areas will welcome him back--with open POCKETBOOKS!

WELL DONE, GEORGE and ELVES!

GEORGE'S UNLIT PUMPKIN PATCH

Pumpkins need light to grow. George's pumpkins are mighty fine this year. Although his Pumpkin Patch at 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road has been OPEN for two weeks now, George is feeling a little in the dark.

You see, pumpkins also need light to be SOLD, and George has none of that. Oh, he wants it, alright, but his boss may have initiated some sort of misunderstanding with ComEd, who has not yet sent out someone to connect the power. Nor has the boss brought the promised "Pumpkins For Sale" signs.

Kris Luck, owner of Quest Network Services right next door provided some small, printed signs and a ceramic pumpkin which holds a lit candle. But George needs light, or his Halloween season will be a bust!
