Brrrrrr!

Needless to say, being hit with over a foot of snow last weekend in our blizzard put a damper on business at Potters Way. We did have some custom orders, so we'd like to share what was delivered this past week to our happy customers.

This weekend will be open our regular hours again. It's our last business weekend of 2008! We hope to see you!

Uff-Da!

A big thank you goes out to Grandma Dorothy and Cousin Sadie for coming to Potters Way last weekend and sharing their fresh lefse! If you've never had a piece hot off the griddle, you really missed out! Here are some shots of the lovely Lefse Ladies working hard!

The Santa hats were donned, the poinsettias were foiled, and even Tyke put on his Christmas sweater! It's definitely Christmastime at Potters Way!

This weekend, we will be sampling the homemade barbecue sauce that's for sale in our shop. It's locally made and delicious! Come out and try some!

Also, it's not too late to order fresh arrangements. They make wonderful gifts and are custom-ordered to what you want! Just call us at 701-742-2831 and we will deliver!

We hope to see you this weekend!

Christmas at Potters Way!

We had a wonderful opening weekend for Christmas at Potters Way and we want to share some of the pictures we have of our customers.

Amanda Greenley and her sons, Colton and Haven, stopped to show us their perfect tree!

Steve and Luann Anderson and their family are sizing up a tree while Jean cuts their fresh cedar garland.

One family is braving the chilly weather to get their tree tied down on the roof of their car!

The Fischer family from Fargo came to visit us again and this time, Meg and Thompson were looking for the perfect tree instead of the perfect pumpkin! They picked out their family tree and Meg even got a tree top for her bedroom.

The ladies from the Oakes Red Hat Society are enjoying the homemade pecan pie on Sunday.

We also got a visit from the Guleph Garden Club. We hope all these ladies make their visit to Potters Way a tradition!

We want to thank everyone who came and made our opening weekend such a wonderful time. We especially want thank those that came out on Friday and registered for our drawing. We'd like to congratulate Laura Donaldson for winning the fresh wreath, and Kathy Boos, for winning the Watkin's gift certificate!

Stay tuned for information about this upcoming weekend!

Christmas Opening Weekend!

Here's an update on what will be happening at Potters Way for our opening weekend.

Friday:

Stop by and register to win this fresh wreath or a $25 Watkin's gift certificate.

Saturday: Enjoy our "Great Tastings" of Watkin's food products.

Sunday: Warm, fresh, homemade pecan pie with whipping cream will be served as a Sunday treat.

We'd like you to see some of the additional themes in our shop. For those of you who enjoyed our variety of preserves during the fall, you'll be pleased to see an expanded line.

We can't wait to open again for the Christmas season and we look forward to seeing you there! From all of us at Potters Way, we hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with friends and family!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Welcome to our first Christmas blog! We are so excited to be opening Potters Way this weekend for our Christmas season. We want to keep you all informed of what's going on, so be sure to check back before each weekend to see what's coming up.

Our fresh trees were delivered last Tuesday. We expected them at about 2:00 pm, and they drove the truck in the yard around 7:00 pm. The pictures are a little dark, but you can see how the trees came to us.

It snowed in Oakes last week, just in time for us to get some of our outside lights up.

Doesn't this just make you want to come and visit us again?!? We hope you will!

More to follow on our opening weekend's events!

Ooooo....Scary!

We apologize for not getting these out sooner... it seems we got delayed, kind of like the Haunted Farm itself. :-) We want to thank everyone who volunteered for the event and of course, everyone who came to be voluntarily scared. Because it was so dark, we only got a few shots, but we hope you enjoy them!

Some more pumpkin pics!

We received some additional pictures from some of our customers and

wanted to post them on the blog to share.

Here are Ed and Linda Huffman's grandkids having fun in the corn maze

The following pictures of shots of our cousin Anne's little guy, Maclain. They came on the last weekend, which was cold and rainy, but he seems to having fun anyway...well, except for the part where we was in a bin of pumpkins!

And here he is with his Aunt Amy, Grandma Pam and Great-Grandma Evelyn. We're so glad you came to visit!

Haunted Farm...Rained Out!

Due to rain, we will be postponing the Haunted Farm at Potters Way until next weekend, Friday, October 31st and Saturday, November 1st. The times will still be 7 pm - 11 pm both nights. We hope you can all make it out next weekend!

Thank You!

We just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who came to visit us at Potters Way this season! We hope that everyone who came had as wonderful a time as we did! As we run the pumpkin patch for 4 weekends, we are officially finished with our fall season, and are preparing for the Haunted Farm, which is to be on October 24th and 25th.

We will re-open again for our Christmas season on November 28th and will run again, 4 weekends, until December 21st. We'd love to see you at Christmas, but if you can't make it, we'll see you next year in the fall!

God bless!

More Weekend Excitement!

We had another beautiful weekend for the pumpkin patch and we had a record Saturday! Here are some shots of our visitors...

The girl scout group had a blast going through the corn maze and picking out their pumpkins.

Parents, beware...if your little pumpkins crawl into our bins, they just might get purchased! :-)

Our Sunday was a little rainy and chilly, but we did have some brave vistors. Here are the Wagner kids with their cousins and Brian and Amber Sorum brought out Jackson to visit! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!

This morning, we woke up to the sound of rain, and while it's a little disheartening since this is our last weekend, we want everyone to know that we have plenty of pumpkins and other produce available for purchase in the barn. We'll do everything we can to make it a great experience, rain or shine!
