Looking for a wild family adventure for Halloween this year? The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is inviting families to attend the second annual Halloween Wildlife Festival and Jack-o’ Lantern Hike at the Education Center at the Edward F. Kehoe Green Mountain Conservation Camp on Point of Pines Road in Castleton. The event takes place on Friday, October 25, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The festival features a fun and educational Halloween campfire show led by students from Green Mountain College’s environmental education and interpretation program. Kids will learn about the creepy, crawly critters that reside in Vermont and have a chance to get decked out in their costumes before the traditional trick-or-treat night. The 20-minute campfire program will run at 5, 6, and 7 p.m.

Admission and activities are free and open to the general public, and all ages are welcome. No registration is required. Costumes are encouraged, but not required.

For more information about the event, contact Ali Thomas, Fish & Wildlife education coordinator at alison.thomas@state.vt.us or 802-371-9975.
