Festival of Pumpkins is supported in part by local businesses. Here’s how we keep that separate from what we tell readers.
Sponsored posts are labeled
If a business paid for a post or a placement, the post says so near the top. Sponsored posts are also filed in their own category so you can see them all in one place.
We don’t sell opinions
A sponsor gets a well-written story and our readers’ attention. They don’t get to buy a rating, a “best of” spot or a claim we can’t stand behind. We may decline to work with a business that isn’t a good fit for our readers.
Businesses check facts, not tone
For spotlights we send the draft to the business so they can correct hours, names, prices and other facts. The writing and final say stay with us.
Farm information changes
We do our best to keep farm details current, but hours, prices and activities change every season. Always confirm with the farm before you visit.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, email us. We fix errors as soon as we can and note significant corrections in the post.
