Location: City Square Park to the Carver County Fairgrounds

Plus so much more. Get all the information here.

They have hundreds of pumpkins that you can choose from.

Shop the already picked pumpkins and pay by the pound, or pick your own and pay $4 a pumpkin or 3 for $11.

If you pick your own, you can choose any pumpkin, any size, any shape as long as it’s still on the vine. And the selection is massive!

They also have other fall decorations like gourds, corn, and mini-pumpkins.

It’s fun and picking your own pumpkins is a great family activity!

More info on Dilmer Farms.

There will be food, games, exhibits and plenty of fun. Plus a huge antique car show.

All the details can be found here.

Hopefully you can make it out to Waconia this year for the 2010 Carver County Fair!!

The fireworks will be shot off from the island again this year which means there are a lot of good viewing spots.

Good spots include
- Lake Waconia Regional Park
- Cedar Point Park
- Lola’s Lakehouse
- Or most anywhere on the lake

For the best view, grab your boat and view them from the lake.

The birthing center features six birthing suites with full-sized bathtubs, offering mothers the option to labor in water and have a water birth aided by certified nurse midwives along with 18 private “spa-like” postpartum suites with hotel-like décor and amenities.

Each room include:

• Flat Screen TV
• Surround Sound
• iPod Hookup along with other MP3 players.
• DVD Players
• A/V in and out jacks for other electrons.
• Spacious layouts.
• Postpartum suites have a couch that turns into a single bed for dads or visitors.
• My Brest Friend for breast feedings.
• A nursery to send your little one to so you can get some sleep.
• Friendly staff.
• Quiet floors so you don’t get any hospital noise.
• In room thermostats.
• The latest in medical technology.
• There are also two kitchens on the floor with free cookies, juice, milk, popsicle, ice cream, cereal, fruit, sandwiches and other goodies for patients and family.
• And so much more.

Specialized care for high-risk deliveries will be coming in fall 2009!

Check out these sweet photos of the birthing suites!
