Haunts & Hollers (10+yrs)

In this Halloween-themed program, ballad singer Saro Lynch-Thomason shares Appalachian songs and folklore of ghosts, death, magic, and mystery. Appalachians have long enjoyed tales and songs about the return of the dead, enchanted animals, and magic-wielding women. In this presentation, Ms. Lynch-Thomason will sing songs on these themes and explore their folkloric origins in European mythology and lore. Appropriate for ages 10 and up. Some scary stories.

If weather permits, Saro will perform in the pavilion at Grovemont Park. Please bring a camp chair or blanket. Rain or extreme cold? We will be in the library. Space there is limited, so come early.

October Howl In

Come and join the fun at our Howl In events at Full Moon Farm!

This month’s treat theme is PUMPKINS! If you would like to bring a special treat to share with the wolfdogs you can do so by bringing small, un-cut, ripe pumpkins. Please do not pre-slice or carve them – part of the fun for the wolfdogs is getting into them! Anything between the size of a baseball to a basketball is fair game for them!

Gates open at 3:00 p.m.
Farm tour begins 3:15 p.m.

Meet our most famous wolfdogs, hear their stories and learn about the breed and find out why they’ve stolen our hearts.

Stay for our pot luck at 4:30 p.m. ($5 donation requested to help with cost of food and drinks). Please bring a covered dish to share.
*We provide drinks, grilled hot dogs and burgers.*

Enjoy shopping in Gwenny’s Gift Den! We have many wonderful gift items featuring wolves and our wolfdogs.

** WE HAVE OUR HOWL IN RAIN OR SHINE!! **
If the weather is bad, we still play! We have a shelter to get out of the rain, and still give a small tour. Bring an umbrella and some snacks, and we’ll try and keep you dry! =)
When you visit, please consider bringing something from our wishlist for the wolfdogs! We have needs big and small. The wishlist can be found here:
