In the ancient kingdom of Mesopotamia, there once lived a powerful and revered king known as the "Pagaj King". His rule was marked by peace, prosperity, and the advancement of arts and sciences. This king, whose name was lost to the sands of time, was said to have been chosen by the gods themselves to govern the land. The Pagaj King was known for his wisdom and fairness. He would often hold court and listen to the grievances and concerns of his subjects, ensuring that justice was served. His decisions were always based on thoughtful consideration and a deep understanding of the laws of the kingdom.

Gardner Village- West Jordan, UT
My favorite witch that manages to run herself into the flour mill every year. I hear she was texting while flying.
Gardner Village is an outdoor shopping center of 22 boutique-style shops surrounding the historic Gardner Mill in West Jordan, UT. From mid-September through October, the place is transformed into a Witchfest where dozens of life-size, green-faced witches are on display. The kids (for 12 and under) like to participate in a free witch scavenger hunt at Gardener Village near Halloween time to help us get in the spirit. You can print a scavenger hunt form on their website or pick up a printed copy at Naborhood Bakery when you arrive. The scavenger hunt took us about an hour to complete. You can take a completed form back to the Naborhood Bakery for a chocolate chip cookie for 50-cents. Afterwards there are great places to eat, shop and so many cute photo ops set up. We saw many dress their little ones in costume or halloween outfits to take advantage of the festive photo opportunities set up around the shopping center. There are also many other events during Witchfest you can check out on their website.
Here they are pumped and ready to get this witch hunt started! here they are with their first witch find. They took this hunt very seriously! I had to keep telling them it was just for fun and wasn’t a school assignment. Asians, I tell you. We loved that we could sit right next to this one and rest our heads on her large bosoms if needed 😉 Witch pulling a pet frog! Check! This one was suspended high up in the air and the kids felt bad for her. A witch stirring a brew for you! Found it!
Almost there! He’s so serious.
Almost done! He is so serious. Witchy Poo was his favorite last year and no surprise it is his favorite this year too. Bathroom humor is never going to end in this household. We found all 15 witches and got our cookies! The kids wanted to go back to this witch to eat their cookies. I liked her too!
Tips:
This place can get very busy on the weekends during this time of year so I would try to go during the week to beat the crowds.
Print off the witch scavenger form online to save time. Bring pencils or pens.
Dress up in costumes or Halloween outfits to take advantage of all the cute photo ops set up around the shopping center.
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
