This fall, the fluffiest VIPs in Maryland are waiting to meet you. At Black Barn Alpacas’ Fall 'Ag'tivities, nearly 150 alpacas, including the season’s cutest baby alpacas, steal the show in a seasonal celebration just 90 minutes from D.C and 40 minutes from Baltimore.
This isn’t your average fall outing. Guests can:
Hand-feed alpacas (yes, they really do nibble right from your hand)
Hop on scenic hayrides through rolling farmland
Play old-school games like ‘pumpkin bowling’, cattle roping, and corn hole
Let the kids run wild in corn bins and the Kiddie Corral play zone
Snap perfect fall photos among rustic barns, Pumpkin Lane, and seasonal backdrops
BONUS: Every admission includes a locally grown pumpkin to paint and take home, making the perfect fall keepsake.

Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress
by Juliany Taveras
Based on the book by Christine Baldacchino and Isabelle Malenfant

Directed by Julie Herber

Run time: Around one hour with no intermission
This show is appropriate for all ages.

About: Morris loves space adventures, painting, and especially the bright tangerine dress in his classroom's dress-up center. But when others question his choices, Morris must find the courage to stand tall in who he is. With the help of his vivid imagination – and the roar of space tigers – he shows everyone that bravery means being true to yourself.
