🎃Sheldon’s Hidden Pumpkin Hunt!🎃
Saturday October 17th & Sunday October 18th!
Can you find them ALL?!
Join Sheldon, along with the other farm animals, for a fun-filled pumpkin adventure! Grab a drink and a seasonal sweet from the Harvest Bar, visit with the animals (some of the chickens are known for dressing up! ) and begin searching for the various hidden decorated pumpkins throughout the farm!

After your pumpkin adventure, swing by the Country Store to use your $10.00 credit. The pantry and seasonal gift items are sure to awaken the feeling of fall in you! Don’t leave until you have put in an estimate for the number of candy corn/pumpkin corn in the mason jar….The closest estimate wins the entire jar of candy! The winner will be announced at the end of the day on Sunday October 18th.
Your participation and all purchases, help us fund the farm animal family as we prepare and stock up for the winter months ahead!

Little ones can create a pumpkin themed craft while you spend your store credit!

Did you know Peacocks 🦚 molt those beautiful feathers (known as a train) once a year, usually starting in October? In most cases it only takes a few weeks for a male to drop their entire train!
Not to worry, the feathers start to regrow right away. Usually in 6 months the train will once again be long, lush and quite colorful for Spring!
Speaking of October, Dalby will have a “First to Know” newsletter going out this week regarding a special Fall event offered 10/17 & 10/18! Stay tuned and save the date!

Those who have come to Dalby in recent years will likely remember the large number of free range chickens hanging around (if not actively following you 🤪).
Well, as a result of their freedom some of our happy hens find alternative egg-laying locations… Forever keeping us on our toes with eyes peeled for new random 🥚 discoveries, like this one!
