Tall Stories Theatre presents the story of Billy the Goat and
the mysterious Snow Dragon. Billy has everything a young goat
could need - and more. When New Year's Eve approaches, Billy's
parents tell him to leave out berries for the legendary Snow
Dragon so that it will bring him even more goodies. But collecting
berries is hard work, and Billy finds it much easier to
"borrow" some. As a result, New Year's doesn't turn out
quite as he expected. Storytelling, comedy and songs create a
magical, mysterious world for everyone aged 3 and up.

Considered one of the best percussion ensembles on the planet,
Burundi's top drummers have been touring the world since the
1960s.This tightly knit 20-drum ensemble generates complex
percussive rhythms with vibrant power and precision, in a
performance filled with energetic showmanship and athletic
prowess. Combining Arabic and Indian melodies, their music is
multicultural, yet uniquely African. The group's heart-stopping
rhythms have crossed social and cultural barriers worldwide. But,
despite their long flirtation with Western audiences, the
percussionists remain a tightly knit and closed ensemble, still
intimately linked to their nation's rural based culture.

Of all of the farm
tours, my wife loves this one the most. We have both been
really impressed at both the educational and family values that
Tina and Duane emphasize when we visit their farm. You
really feel like part of the family at Hinchley's.
October is Harvest at the Farm
Hinchley’s have worked all summer for this time of year. The
Harvest! Corn is dry, soybeans are being combined, and pumpkins
are ready to be picked! Take a Hayride to the pumpkin patch to
pick a
free pumpkin!
Family Tours
Weekends in October, or with reservations during the week.
Autumn is a special time at
Hinchley’s Dairy Farm. The cool air, rustling corn leaves,
and the soft mooing of cows surround your family when you go to
the farm to get your pumpkins. If short on time take a quick
Hayride to the field to pick one with out seeing the animals
first. Plan on spending a while to find the right pumpkin though!
The patch has 1000’s to choose from. Hinchley’s sells
specialty pumpkins in a range of sizes from 6 ounces to 200+
pounds! Family time is during the weekends in October, or
with reservations during the weekdays.

Admission is $8.00 per person (young & old)
Every Friday & Saturday night in October our maze is
"haunted" by our live "spooks." You may bring
a flashlight, but it just makes you easier prey for the ghosts
& goblins. Come sit by the bonfire and listen to the screams,
before or after you go through the maze. Children under 16
must be accompanied by an adult at all times. One adult per group
of 5 kids is required. The maze is "haunted" from 7pm to
10:30pm. Last ticket sold at 10pm.
Petting Zoo
This year's animals include baby goats, a lamb, a calf, and baby
pigs.
