Family fun is in the works at the
Sharon Audubon Center the last two weekends in October. Both events are
"non scary" and geared toward families with children
pre-K through 2nd grade.
The Audubon's popular Enchanted Forest will be held on Saturday, October
19. Guided groups will meet friendly costumed animal characters along a
candlelit trail and hear how the animals live their lives on the Audubon
grounds. After the tour, which lasts approximately 45 minutes, participants can
enjoy a cup of hot chocolate inside the Center building before taking a hayride
back to the parking area. This non-scary program is ideal for children up to 8
years old and their families. Tours begin every 10-15 minutes between the hours
of 6:00 and 7:30 p.m.. Participants should bring an extra flashlight.
Admission is $4 per person. Children under 2 are free.
Audubon Kids' Day is taking place on Sunday, October 27 from 12-3
p.m. This is a fun, autumn afternoon for young children and their families that
features carnival-type games, kids' crafts, a hay bale maze, hay wagon
shuttles, and food to name a few of the fun activities. Children are encouraged
to come in costume and join in the costume parade that will be lead by a real
life marching band around the Center grounds at 2:30. The event is held rain or
shine. Admission is $7.00 per carload.
