October Howl In

Come and join the fun at our Howl In events at Full Moon Farm!

This month’s treat theme is PUMPKINS! If you would like to bring a special treat to share with the wolfdogs you can do so by bringing small, un-cut, ripe pumpkins. Please do not pre-slice or carve them – part of the fun for the wolfdogs is getting into them! Anything between the size of a baseball to a basketball is fair game for them!

Gates open at 3:00 p.m.
Farm tour begins 3:15 p.m.

Meet our most famous wolfdogs, hear their stories and learn about the breed and find out why they’ve stolen our hearts.

Stay for our pot luck at 4:30 p.m. ($5 donation requested to help with cost of food and drinks). Please bring a covered dish to share.
*We provide drinks, grilled hot dogs and burgers.*

Enjoy shopping in Gwenny’s Gift Den! We have many wonderful gift items featuring wolves and our wolfdogs.

** WE HAVE OUR HOWL IN RAIN OR SHINE!! **
If the weather is bad, we still play! We have a shelter to get out of the rain, and still give a small tour. Bring an umbrella and some snacks, and we’ll try and keep you dry! =)
When you visit, please consider bringing something from our wishlist for the wolfdogs! We have needs big and small. The wishlist can be found here:

Tim Burton and screenwriter John August adapted Wallace’s novel to the big screen in 2003 earning numerous award nominations from the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs and many more.

The visually stunning film is beloved by audiences for its funny yet touching story that was brought to life through incredible performances by Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney and Jessica Lange.

MOVIE SYNOPSIS (Running Time = 2 hours 5 minutes):
When Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) becomes ill, his son, William (Billy Crudup), travels to be with him. William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he’s never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father’s tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

CONTENT GUIDELINE: Rated PG-13 for a fight scene, mild adult language, a very brief glimpse of bare buttocks and a suggestive reference.
