Happy Friday! It’s hard to believe we have just 2.5 weekends left in our season! 😢 It feels like it was just opening day in May! Time goes by faster every year. If you haven’t made it out to Old McDonald’s Farm yet this season, this weekend is going to be perfect sunny but cozy fall weather for a fun farm day! 🍂🍁🎃🌽

👻 Trick or Treat in the Corn Maze! 🌽🍫
🗓️ Saturday October 17, 11-3
💲 Included in admission for ages 2-17!
🕺 Costumes encouraged! Bring your own trick or treat bag! 🛍️ (Please be aware that scary masks do frighten some of our animals!)
🎟️ Each child, age 2-17, will be given a ticket at the admissions desk. Hand in your ticket at the first station then collect your candy throughout the maze! There will be at least 10 stations to visit! Try to find all the stations without getting lost! 🌽
➡️ We ask that children only “trick or treat” one time through the maze so that there is enough candy for all our young visitors!
⏰ The corn maze will open at 11 am, and trick or treating will end at 3 pm. The farm is open 10-6.
💰A portion of the day's admissions proceeds will be donated to the Sackets Harbor Central School junior and senior classes. Students from Sackets Harbor will be volunteering at each of the candy stations!
➡️All trick or treaters must be accompanied by an adult!
🎟️ Regular farm admission required for everyone age 2 and older
🍬 Under age 2, but still wants to trick or treat? Because under age 2 does not pay admission, you can add a trick-or-treat pass for 1 year olds for just $5.

“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run…]”
- To Autumn. By John Keats (1819)

Well… we got a little rain today. And five minutes after I took this video, another round of rain came through. 😫 We’re hoping this soaks in overnight in time for our field trips tomorrow!
