September 29 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. -- Decorate your 3" rubber ducky however you like, using waterproof markers. Then... launch your duck down the Rock & Stream and follow along as your it swooshes through the rapids, drops over waterfalls, and disappears and reappears under bridges! Can your duck make it to the end without help? Fun for the whole family! ($5 per duck)
|
September 29 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. -- Fly a Kite: Put together a kite and fly it on the big lawn outside the Walled Garden for this once-a-year treat. Kids will be running and catching the wind as their kites soar like the hawks and eagles who often fly far overhead. Kites can be purchased in advance or at the event for $10 (until sold out, and they always sell out), or you may bring your own.
|
September 29, every half hour from 2:15-4:15 p.m. -- Hayride: Take a leisurely hayride along our rustic carriage trail starting at the top of the Rock and Stream Garden and going down to the Ruin Garden by the lion and unicorn, then back up to the starting point. Spots are limited! ($10 per person)
|
September 29, every 15 minutes from 2:00-4:00 p.m. -- Learn a Magic Trick: Break the laws of nature! Treat the laws of gravity like they are only a suggestion. Experienced magicians from the local Society of American Magicians will teach you how to use a special prop to amaze and entertain your friends and family. Our Magic Workshop teaches you a magic trick you can do immediately. Place a bead on a string and hold one end up. It slides right down, right? But once you learn how, you can tell the bead to freeze - and it will! You'll be amazing, we guarantee it! Each prop $10.
