Area families were invited out to a fun day out on the farm as Lazee G Ranch hosted its Halloween Family Day on Sunday afternoon.
Participants were able to tour the barn, pet some of the farm animals, watch riding demonstrations that included horses and riders dressed in costumes, or even take a pony ride as part of the event. They were also able to participate in a treasure hunt that stretched across the 25-acre farm, which helped everyone get into the Halloween spirit.
In addition, members of the Rising Stars Drill Team dressed as superheroes to put on skits as part of the Lazee G Ranch Halloween Family Day. This was not only a source of entertainment, but allowed the riders a chance to show off the skills they have obtained in the saddle, after years of hard work and practice.
Brenda Gagnon, owner and operator of Lazee G Ranch, noted Sunday’s event was aimed to give area families something fun to do, without putting too much strain on the wallet. While onsite, visitors learned all about the care and attention that goes into having farm animals.
Last year, Lazee G Ranch hosted a Halloween drive-through event that offered many scary scenes located throughout the ranch. It was nice to offer the event in-person on Sunday, Gagnon noted, where visitors were able to tour the facility and get up-close with the animals.
