Celebrate the lives of some of our favorite Nocturnal Neighbors on Saturday, Oct. 25, at the 14th Annual Howl-O-Ween children’s program at the Golden Pond Visitor Center in Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area. Enjoy the non-scary side of Halloween with this kid-friendly evening program. Dress in your favorite costume and take a guided hike along our lantern-lit character trail where the animals of the forest will “come alive” before your eyes. Meet friendly Gretta the Great Horned Owl and Scarlet O’Spider who will entertain you with their woodsy wisdom and wit. Howl-O-Ween provides a great chance for children to enjoy a night of outdoor fun and entertainment while learning about some of our misunderstood nighttime animals. You can warm up with hot chocolate and enjoy crafts, face painting, and a live animal demonstration. "The evening is fun for kids of all ages, but it's especially appropriate for families with children who may be too young for the haunted houses, but would enjoy a more lighthearted nighttime outdoor experience," said Aviva Yasgur, event planner.Admission to Howl-O-Ween is $4 per person. Tours begin at 6 p.m. with the final tour leaving at 8:30 p.m. Visitors are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring a flashlight and an umbrella in case of rain. Costumes are welcome and encouraged.
