Attendees are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes for the festivities, which will include socially distanced blanket bingo, a magic show, pumpkin painting, and a pumpkin patch, pet and kid’s costume contests, pet photos, visit with the ducks and “Balki” the pig. Visitors can hike up to the majestic 300-year old oak tree high atop the sprawling 115-acre farm with a view of the Hudson Valley and the Catskills and breathe in the fresh fall air, or relax in their 10-ft spaced field pods near the farmhouse to enjoy lunch or dinner. As a special treat, costumed characters and beloved children’s iconic literary characters “Llama Llama,” “Curious George,” and the “Wild Thing” from Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are” will be on stage for kid’s storytime and a safely distanced “meet &amp; greet” with photo opportunities.Additionally, there will be a day-long demonstration from <a href="http://hudsonvalleyblacksmith.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Canal Forge Blacksmiths</a> of High Falls, and <a href="https://www.ucspca.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ulster County SPCA </a>will be holding a dog adoption event to benefit the shelter.
