Create Unbe-Leaf-able Family Memories at Tankhouse Nursey's Fall Fest

The 1st Annual Tankhouse Nursey Fall Festival is a celebration of all things autumn. Attendees will find giant pumpkins, hay rides, games, and more waiting at the festival. But for Jenn and the team at Tankhouse, this Fall Fest is so much more than a pumpkin palooza - to them, it's a chance to connect with the Cheyenne community and offer a place for folks to build lasting family memories.

"When my children were little, I used to take them to a pumpkin patch in Nebraska," said Jenn, who has taken on the planning of the Tankhouse Fall Fest. "It was just one of those things we had to [do] for the community," she added, noting that Tankhouse is seeking to fill the void of pumpkin patches in SE Wyoming. It's not a secret that for several years, residents often travel an hour or two away in NoCo in order to find pumpkin patch fun.

The Fall Festival at Tankhouse will feature classic pumpkin patch and harvest fest fun, including a pie-eating contest featuring pies from the Bread Basket, hayrack rides, a corn pit, and - of course - a pumpkin patch.

About Tankhouse Nursey

Once upon a time, the Stansbury family ran a dairy farm in Cheyenne. Today, Tankhouse Nursey resides on the old dairy's land. Rising above the prairie landscape on the farm is a weathered barn and its tankhouse. As Jenn told it, tankhouses "are very far and few...they were used feed the water into the homes" on ranches and homesteads. It's from the old farm's tankhouse that Tankhouse Nursey gained its name. Tankhouse began as a wholesale operation, but as the nursery grew, the business has since evolved to offer retail service to Cheyenne residents.
