Company Picnics 2009 Fall Season
Every year, more and more businesses are choosing to treat their valued employees to a corporate event at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival. With its beautiful setting, lively entertainment, and special fall foods selection, Vala’s is the ideal setting for your next company picnic. Celebrate the fall season with friends and family. Roast hot dogs over a campfire, see the stage shows, shop, and take a relaxing hay rack ride around the farm. Reserve a campfire site, bring your own food, or have Vala’s cater your event. We get your fire started, supply the wood, picnic tables, and bales of straw to sit on, for a charge of $50.00 for a 5-hour period. Learn more about Campfire Sites for your group.(Click here for Campfire Site Information) You may also wish to reserve our Yellow & White tent (30’ X 40’), the Red & White tent (20' X 30'), or the White tent (20' X 40') for a charge of $250.
If a group event is not in your plans, you may treat your employees to pre-paid General Admission Tickets, which will let them and their families attend Vala’s any time during the fall season. You may purchase the Vala’s Pumpkin Patch corporate tickets and sell them to your employees or distribute them as a form of recognition and reward. With flexible options, we hope that you choose to make Vala’s a part of your corporate tradition. Contact us today to start planning a company outing that your colleagues will be talking about for months to come.

Quick Planning Guide
Vala's will be happy to bill your company after the date of the event so that you pay only for the number of guests that attend.
Step 1: Meet with others and decide on the “package”, the date, and the time that your group would like.
Step 2: Call (402) 332-4200 or click on "Make a Reservation" at the top of the page to make a reservation request. Give us an approximate number of people expected to attend.
Step 3: For quick entry to Vala’s, design an admission ticket with your company logo or group name, the date, and the time of your event. Use separate designs or colors for adults and children.
(Other Options)
For quick entry to Vala's you may pre-purchase our printed tickets and give them or sell them at a reduced rate to your guests. Note that these will not have the date of your event on them and can be used on any other date during the fall season.
Prepare an alphabetized list of guests. This method requires your guests to stand in line at the Admissions Barn window to be checked in.
Have your guests sign in at the Admissions Barn on the date of your event (Skip steps 4 and 5). This requires your guests to stand in line at the Admissions Barn window to be checked in.
Step 4: E-mail, fax or send by mail a copy of the ticket or the guest list to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, with the company or group’s name, address, phone number, contact person, and date of event. The fax number is (402) 332-4590.
Step 5: Distribute tickets to your guests. After the date of your event your company or group will be billed for the number of guests attending. Designed tickets must be pre-approved before giving them to your guests.
