Third Annual Fall Harvest at Patriot Place Offers Free Family Fun this Weekend

In need of some fall fun this weekend with the family? Look no further than Ocean Spray’s third annual Fall Harvest Celebration at Patriot Place Saturday.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. behind and at Bass Pro Shops, the North Marketplace retail plaza and participating restaurants around Patriot Place.

The event is free and full of outdoor activities, including a look at the Cranberry Bog behind Bass Pro Shops.

The bog is the last remaining active cranberry bog in Foxborough. Dormant for years, it was brought back to life by Ocean Spray, which harvested it for the first time last year. The 2012 harvest will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is open for public viewing while Ocean Spray cranberry farmers harvest the fruit of their yearlong efforts.

Other free activities at Fall Harvest include a pumpkin sculpting demo, pumpkin painting, hayrides, cranberry-inspired cooking demos and offerings from participating Patriot Place restaurants, Patriots Cheerleader appearances, bounce houses and live musical performances.
