Enchanted Forest Held in October

Are you looking for an exciting family outing this fall? Look no further: New Hampshire Audubon will be holding their annual Enchanted Forest event at its Concord location: 84 Silk Farm Road, on the evenings of Oct. 24, and Oct. 25, 2015.

This family-friendly event is open to anyone ages 4 and older, according to a press statement, and welcomes scout and youth groups as well. At Enchanted Forest, you will participate in a variety of fun and engaging activities. Features include a nighttime stroll through the forest on the glowing jack-o-lantern trail, an encounter with larger-than-life creatures, who will present skits about mysterious events in nature, engaging stories told around a campfire, indoor seasonal games and activities, and delicious refreshments.

Ruth Smith, the event’s organizer, is eagerly planning the very popular event. “I look forward to The Enchanted Forest every year.” She said. “It is a fantastic opportunity for families to participate in fun fall-themed activities while learning about nature. It is a wonderful alternative to scary haunted houses. The event has become an annual tradition, and is one of our most popular events.”

Preregistration is required, and spots are limited, so be sure to reserve yours as soon as possible. Registration begins on September 1, and the fee is $6.50 for NH Audubon members, $9.50 for nonmembers, with group rates available. Please call 603-224-9909 to reserve a spot and time. Enchanted forest will go on, rain or shine because outdoor skit sites are covered!

New Hampshire Audubon is also looking for volunteers to help make the event as exciting as possible. Whether you are interested in planning, set up and clean up, baking treats, acting in skits, leading groups through trails, or sharing games and activities, there is a spot for you.
