. . .and the goblins will get you if you don’t watch out in the
Corn Maze “After Dark”
Some say ghosts and goblins linger among the corn stalks around Halloween and some say you can see them only in the moonlight. But if you listen closely, the wispy crackling sounds you hear are more than just the wind blowing through the corn maze. If you are brave enough to enter the maze after dark, you must bring a flash light to light up your path. You may not want to go alone so come in groups of 10 or more and huddle close or the goblins will get you if you don’t watch out!
The corn maze is open after dark on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. $5.00 per person. *Don’t forget your flashlight for the corn maze after 6 PM! Visit the Cottage Shoppe for your corn maze tickets from 5 - 8pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Evening Bonfire Parties
VT, RU, Roanoke, and Hollins College organizations, Chuch groups, and local scouts have made Sinkland Farms Bonfire Parties & Hayrides a longtime favorite tradition. Bring your group, nestle in on a bed of hay for a scenic hayride around the property. Groups come back to the Cottage Shoppe for hot apple cider and roast marshmallows around the fire. A second favorite scenario is a cozy bonfire under a zenith of stars with a dance party in the barn pavillion. Contact Sinkland Farms at sinklandfarms@gmail.com to schedule your group party.
