Freshwater Farms Plans Four Saturdays of Halloween Fun

Freshwater Farms of Ohio, just north of Urbana, is giving guests four chances to celebrate Halloween, on consecutive Saturdays – Oct. 9, 16, 23 and 30 – with live music, great fall foods, and fun seasonal activities.

Freshwater Farms’ Halloween Bash will be open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day at the farm, 2624 N. U.S. 68, with free admission and parking. Food service will be available from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., live music by a total of nine bands, featured from 4 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 9, 23 and 30, and 1 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 16.

Halloween Bash will feature specialties from the kitchens of Freshwater Farms, including grilled shrimp, fried oysters, brats, hot dogs and loaded fries. A variety of hot and cold seasonal drinks along with craft beers, wine and margaritas will also be served.

Activities include hay wagon rides around the fish farm, touring the eco-farming areas, a wild flower meadow maze, a pumpkin picking patch, kids crafts with masks and pumpkin decorating, costume contests, and after dark, pirate ship glow rides to the “Spooky Pirate Treasure Adventure.”

Freshwater Farms’ trout-feeding frenzy, critter displays, touch tanks, including the sturgeon petting zoo, and pygmy goats will be available from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
