ANSONIA - Pumpkin carving, horse-drawn wagon rides and a hay bale maze will be some of the highlights of an annual fall fest sponsored by the Friends of the Ansonia Nature Center, Inc.
The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Center, 10 Deerfield Road. Admission is free.
This year, visitors will once again get a chance to enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides provided by Maple View Farm in Orange.
As the horses clip-clop over hill and meadow, riders will learn the history of the park and perhaps hear a scary story or two.
Visitors may follow a "haunted trail" created by the Junior Rangers and try to make their way through a hay bale maze.
Carve a pumpkin, and visit the nature center store where the youngest family members will be able to decorate a pumpkin with no carving or scissors provided.
Learn about the animals associated with All Hallows Eve, through a program on bats, owls, and tarantulas.
The Friends will hold a tag sale and a bake sale, featuring homemade apple and pumpkin goodies to take home.
Enjoy fresh-squeezed apple cider and cinnamon doughnuts. Ranger Marty Wigglesworth is planning to hold his popular doughnut-eating contest.
All proceeds from the celebration will benefit the center's educational programs and wildlife rehabilitation.
