Get ready for fall in the Illinois Valley
By AIMEE BARROWS abarrows@shawmedia.com
Fall is officially here this week, and that means pumpkin season has arrived.
Pumpkin farms across the region open their gates to welcome families and friends for a day of festive fun. And while the star of the show is the pumpkin, these farms offer a variety of activities to keep visitors entertained. Hay rides, corn mazes and petting zoos are just a few of the popular attractions.
Boggio’s Orchard & Produce will host its annual Pumpkin Harvest Craft Show from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29. The market opens at 8 a.m. both days.
Fall activities will include a corn maze, wagon rides, a barrel train, pedal carts, a jumping pillow, apple cannons, a corn play bin, a petting zoo and other activities.
Here’s a list of pumpkin farms in the Illinois Valley where you can bring the whole family for a full day of autumn fun.
5 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays. Pick pumpkins, gourds, squash and more. Fall activities include a petting zoo, corn maze, wagon rides, jumping pillow, apple slide, barrel train rides and other attractions. For information, visit boggiosorchardandproduce.com or call 815339-2245.
Kane Family Farms: 2165 N. 3020th Road, Ottawa. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays to Sundays. Pumpkin patch, corn maze and outdoor adventures
and games, food trucks, petting zoo, hay rides and more. Admission costs $12 for ages 3 and older. For information, visit kanefamilyfarms.com or call 815-324-4144.
Country Kids Produce: 4301 Plain Road, Peru; 426 S. Clark St., Utica. Country Kids Farm Market in Peru is a prime destination to support local farmers. Check out their massive selection of mums and an expansive variety of pumpkins and gourds – large, small, lumpy, flat, round, bright or muted
shades … shoppers will have their pick. The fall lineup of products also includes apple and peach cider as well as apple cider doughnuts. The Peru location is open daily through Oct. 31. The Utica stand is open Saturdays and Sundays through October. For information, visit countrykidsfarmmarket.com or facebook.com/countrykidsfarmmarket.
Gast’s Pumpkins: 4327 E. 1553rd Road, Earlville Visiting Gast’s Pumpkins feels like making a social call to a neighbor. This pumpkin patch features a variety of pumpkins and gourds arranged around the homey farmyard. Shoppers can find pumpkins of every shape and size, ranging from pie pumpkins to wart-speckled decorations and from small handheld gourds to hefty, liftwith-your-legs giants. An Instagram-able favorite at Gast’s are the many stacks of flat pumpkins – they’re like totem poles paying homage to autumn, and many guests snap cellphone photos of youths standing alongside the pumpkin stacks. While exploring the variety of options, there’s a good chance visitors will be greeted by mooing cows and bleating goats. Gast’s Pumpkins, located about 14 miles north of Ottawa, is open daily. For information, visit facebook.com/ gastspumpkins.

Red Devils fall in TRAC Mississippi road game
By BRANDON LaCHANCE Shaw Local News Network correspondent
SHERRARD – It was easy to decipher from the beginning.
The Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Week 4 game Friday between Hall-Putnam County and Sherrard was going to be won by the team that had the momentum at the end, as huge momentum swings teeter-tottered to both squads.
When the last horn blew, the Red Devils were on the opposite side of the scale as they fell 20-14 to the Tigers.
“It was self-inflicted. Your toughest opponent is yourself and that is what happened. We beat ourselves,” firstyear Hall-PC coach Logan Larson said. “We had a chance to drive down the field and we had a bad snap. That had nothing to do with anybody else. It was us.
“Sherrard was good. They’re physical at linebacker. They were downhill, we didn’t get our eyes up, and they made a bunch of tackles. We peeked in the back end when we’re playing cov-
GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
erage, and then they get a big one. It was a good scheme, and they made good plays to put us in a bind, but we weren’t doing what we were supposed to do.”
After Hall-PC (1-3, 1-1 TRC Mississippi) went three-and-out in its first possession, Sherrard (1-3, 1-1 TRC Mississippi) got points on its first possession when junior quarterback Carter Brown scored on a 30-yard scamper for a 6-0 first quarter lead.
The Red Devils and Tigers traded failed possessions before junior fullback Aiden Redcliff (17 carries for 56 yards and a TD) put Hall-PC on the scoreboard with a 2-yard run with 8:43 on the second-quarter clock after junior quarterback Dylan Glynn found senior Jack Jablonski on a 21-yard pass and catch to set up the short TD run for a 7-6 lead. Senior foreign-exchange student Ilan Bardot was 2 for 2 on point-after attempts.
Sherrard didn’t take long to answer. It responded with a nine-play, 77-yard touchdown drive capped off with a 12-yard run by senior Garrett Wood-
ward to retake the lead 12-7.
In a similiar formula as before, the squads traded unsuccessful offensive possessions.
Also familiar, Hall-PC connected for a score, this time on a high-impact trick play. Glynn handed off to Redcliff, and the latter took two steps before firing a halfback pass to Jablonski, who was wide open on the left side of the field for a 59-yard gain to set the Red Devils up on the Sherrard 6-yard line.
After two runs for 1 yard, Glynn located junior Chase Burkart for a 5-yard score with 3.3 seconds left in the second quarter to take a 14-12 halftime lead.
“We had the momentum going into halftime. We had a great two-minute drive where we executed and did things right,” Larson said. “We thought, ‘Can we get a quick stop?’ on our next defensive stance, and we did get a stop early in the third quarter. We thought we were in control. Then we drove the ball down the field and had a turnover.
“It can’t happen. We kept giving ourselves chances, chances and chances, because we had some big fourth-down stops and forced Sherrard to punt. Then we couldn’t move the ball, and we had a hard time protecting Dylan.”
After the big Red Devils’ defensive stop to end Sherrard’s first possession of the second half, Sherrard intercepted Hall-PC. However, it wasn’t entirely unfavorable to the Red Devils, because the Tigers were on their own 6-yard line. After a three-and-out, Sherrard punted, and Hall-PC was on the Tigers’ 34-yard line in prime position to score.
On the third play, the Red Devils fumbled, and the Tigers recovered and scored with Brown’s second QB keeper TD run of the game to take the 20-14 lead – which became the final result.
The Red Devils still had 1:21 left in the game to steal the victory, but a second interception and a last possession with a miscalculated run for minus-13 yards and a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty sealed the Red Devils’ fate.
