Scarecrow Row Sneak Peek!

Here are some pics of the kids getting their scarecrow displays all ready to go!  It's a really neat attraction that you won't want to miss!

Ladies Night!

We held our second annual Ladies Night last evening and we had a great turnout!  We've added a few pictures of the ladies who came out and took advantage of the specials and enjoyed the fabulous cheesecake! 

 

We'll post the winner of our outdoor display soon!

What You Can Expect

There are some important things we want you to know about the upcoming season at Potters Way.

• Since our corn maze was destroyed in the storm on July 10th, we are featuring a new attraction this year called "Scarecrow Row".  The local 4-H kids are creating scarecrows and we will have them on display for viewing, voting and of course, great photo opportunities!
• On Thursday, September 22nd from 7:00 - 9:00 pm, we are having a Ladies Night.  All ladies are welcome and you'll get the first pick of produce for fall decorating along with the unique merchandise in our shop.  We'll have dessert and coffee, along with some fun specials to take advantage of! 
• Finally, remember, our opening day is September 23rd and we are open only 4 weekends until October 16th! 

Don't miss out!  We hope to see you there!

Old Habits Die Hard

Here we are about to start another season at Potters Way and we are continuously reminded that we are not in control. 

Webster's definition of control is "to exercise restraining or directing influence over". We have to admit it...we are control freaks. 

You'd think after a few seasons of both ups and downs, we'd realize that God is totally in control and we'd stop trying so hard to "exercise directing influence".  The truth is, old habits die hard and we're still learning.

This year, we were hit with several surprises;  some good and some not so good.  On July 10th, a major storm blew through our little town of Oakes and more than 1,400 trees were uprooted in town, along with other property damage and major crop damage.  Our corn maze was destroyed in this storm.  Initially, we weren't sure if our plants would produce anything either, so there was some time when we thought we wouldn't have anything for the 2011 season.

But as certain as ever, God came through.  Here are a few pictures of some of the great-looking produce that we'll have for sale this fall. 

A good surprise this year is that Tom and Jean are grandparents again.  Originally, Jeremiah and Becky were expecting this little person on September 15th, the day before we were scheduled to open for the 2011 Potters Way season.  We were all a little apprehensive about the due date!  Well, again, God's timing is always perfect and little Carter James Undem arrived 3 weeks early on August 24th.

With the storm pushing our opening back and the baby coming early, the stress of the timing is significantly lower!  It never ceases to amaze us how God works in our lives and the plan He has for us is ALWAYS better than what we could plan for ourselves. 

Check back for more information on what you can expect this year, including information about Ladies Night.  Please make it part of your fall plans to come and visit us and see just how good God really is!  See you soon!
