Hoots & Howls
Join
us for some not-so-spooky fun at Hoots & Howls on Saturday,
October 5 and Sunday, October 6. We are kicking off fall with entertainment and
activities for all ages. See the sights on a hay ride, ride a
pedal tractor, navigate a hay bale maze and have your face painted like
your favorite animal. Shake your "ghoul thing" at the
Monster Mash Bash and visit the Tatzoo Parlor. The Slitherin' Snake Shed
and the Felton Skeleton are a haunting good time. Have your picture
taken with a costumed character. Our animals are joining in the fun by
smashing pumpkins. Hoots & Howls is 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this weekend, October 5 & 6 and next weekend, October 12 & 13. It's a spooktacular time for the whole family.
