Thistleberry farms season of fall fun comes to an end as winter approaches

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Thistleberry Farms will close down for the season on Oct. 31. Ahead of the season ending, ABC57's Sidney Moore spoke with one of the co-owners about when planning for next year will begin. Dave Frushour says, "Usually, we think about that over the winter once, once we've recuperated this year, then we start planning and trying to figure out what we're going to do next year."

This farm offers nearly 20 different activities and sits on over forty acres of farmland. A new addition that came to the farm this year is the paintball shooting gallery, where kids can shoot paint at monster targets.

Frushour said the farm saw nearly 20,000 people visit this season and sold over 5,000 pumpkins with their heaviest weighing in at 54 lbs.
