TIFTON — Children both young and old can have an “unBOOlievable” time at the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village on Oct. 27 with Trick-or-Treat in the Village from 9 a.m.– 4 p.m.

The Museum invites children to don their favorite woodland creature costume and trick-or-treat their way around the historic village. Museum interpreters will welcome all the little costumed trick-or-treaters with candy in the homes and buildings throughout the historic village. A costume contest will be held at 1 p.m. on the porch of the Historic Village Drug Store.

An exciting new addition this year is the Touch-a-Tractor, Truck, and more event. It will take place from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the large parking lot near I-75. Children will be able to get up-close and personal with their favorite vehicles including a fire truck, cement truck, a crane, big tractors  and even a helicopter.

Activities for the day include face painting, pony rides, hay rides, a petting zoo, a trained-chicken show, dunking booth, and interactive activities in the Historic Village. Visitors can also purchase pumpkins at the Museum’s pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. The pumpkin patch is located at the Country Store near the entrance to the Museum. Admission is not required to visit the pumpkin patch.
