I have 4 people in my group. Do I need to purchase 4 scarecrows?
Not unless you want 4 scarecrows. The fee is per scarecrow. Sometime folks make one scarecrow per group. Other times they make one per child to avoid, shall we say, disagreements. But the choice is yours. Each scarecrow purchased includes 2 Pumpkin Path tickets.
Why does it cost $5 more today then if I had Early Registered?
Early Registration makes our planning much easier and smoother. Look at the $5 as a convenience fee. You are still able to register for any future weekend at the $25 rate.
If I purchase 2 scarecrows, do I still only get 2 tickets in total?
That wouldn't be very nice of us would it? Fair is fair! Each scarecrow purchased includes 2 Pumpkin Path tickets.
Besides price, what are the differences between Early vs. Late vs. Walk-in Registrations?
Everyone who is Early Registered has a sticker with their name awaiting them. Those who have not Early Registered still may do so online, but there may be a slight delay when you arrive, while we prepare the label.
