Pumpkin patch sprouts at Clickit RV lot in Moses Lake

MOSES LAKE — There’s a new pumpkin patch, sort of, out near I-90 east of Moses Lake.

“We’ve got five bins of pumpkins, about 300 of them,” said ClickIt RV Finance Manager Jen Lonas. “If we give them all away, we’ll get more. We’ve got some bagged candy to give the kids as well.”

Clickit RV had a corner of its lot covered in pumpkins, about 5,000 pounds of them, Tuesday morning, and workers were setting up hay bales, decorations and games for the kids in preparation for the patch opening on Friday. 

It’s part of the dealership’s efforts to thank the community that’s been good to them, Lonas said.

“We try to do a little something to give back to the community,” she said.

“We gave away barbecue lunches a month ago,” said General Manager Clint Monk.

That three-day giveaway brought about 100 people to the dealership, Monk said. The pumpkins that aren’t given away will be sent to a farm as cattle feed, Lonas said.

Clickit RV is located a little way out of town on North Frontage Road, so it’s visible from I-90 but people coming from town often don’t know it’s there, Monk said.

The pumpkin giveaway, like the other events, isn’t a sales event, Monk said, but it does serve to raise Clickit RV’s profile.

“Our goal isn’t for somebody to come in here and buy an RV,” he said. “Our goal is to let them know where we’re at, and in their mind, they’ll come back five, six months, a year later and say, ‘Let’s go to that RV place we saw,” he said.
