Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Mingle with Friendly Llamas

The evening opens with time to meet the farm's llamas—playful, spooky-costumed companions who set a low-key, autumnal tone for the night.

THE ART

Guided Halloween Llama-Ghost Painting

Brush and Barrel lead a guided, Halloween-themed painting class focused on a playful llama-ghost motif; no prior painting experience is required, making it accessible to first-timers.

THE NIGHT

Bonfire, S'mores and BYOB

After painting, the group gathers at a camp bonfire to warm up, enjoy s'mores provided by the operator, and sip brought beverages while the farm settles into the evening.
