Vala's Pumpkin Patch

2012 FALL SEASON

Vala’s Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival employs over 550 people during the fall season. We feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful crew of friendly happy individuals and families who come together as a team to make Vala’s Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival possible. We do not widely advertise employment opportunities because the majority of our staff are retained from the year before. New staff members are often friends and family of past workers.

Working at Vala’s can be a fun and rewarding experience, and we encourage everyone-- students, stay-at-home moms/dads, retired people, working moms/dads, and teachers-- to apply. We are looking for reliable staff members, especially for our weekends in the fall. We are open from 9 am to 9 pm Sunday through Wednesday, and until 10 pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday--an opportunity for anyone.
