From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. families are invited to enjoy a day of fun, festivities, and free fall-themed activities against the beautiful backdrop of Happy Rolph’s Animal Farm. No need to register in advance.
Attendees can look forward to collecting a complimentary pumpkin, generously provided by Meridian Credit Union - just one per family - while supplies last. And don’t miss out on delicious beverages from Tim Horton's, including coffee, steeped tea, and hot chocolate, all available at no cost.
Food lovers will delight in the return of Country Boys Mobile Food Services, which will be serving up a variety of tasty hot treats for purchase.
In addition to delicious snacks and warm drinks, the day will be filled with family-friendly activities, games, and the beauty of nature. Fire Services will also join the festivities to highlight the City’s Fire Prevention Month, ensuring everyone knows how to stay safe this fall.
Adding to the excitement, the Niagara Ice Dogs' mascot, Bones, will make a special appearance before gearing up for his big birthday party and home game against Kingston the following day.
Don’t miss this final chance to visit the animals before they head to their sanctuaries for the winter months! This year, Whispering Hearts Horse Sanctuary will be joining us, offering insights into the wonderful world of horses.
