Seekonk's foliage is beautiful this time of year. If looking for an excuse to check it out, there are lots of Halloween-themed outdoor activities this weekend. And if the woodsy fall air isn't your cup of tea, there are indoor local beer and wine tastings to attend. Here's a look at the weekend offerings.
Beer Tastings
Landry Liquors is hosting beer tastings from 4 to 7 p.m.
Mother Nature's Halloween Hike
Put on your hiking shoes and a brave face. On Saturday, Oct, 23 from 5:30 to 9 p.m., the Audubon Caratunk Wildlife Refuge in Seekonk, is hosting a fun-filled, fright-free celebration of Halloween — Mother Nature style. Bundle up and rustle through the leaves on a guided lantern-lit hike through the forest. Families encounter costumed woodland creatures that explore the myths, legends, and creatures associated with Halloween. Fun-filled and non-scary, these walks are a great alternative to the usual haunted happenings. Audubon's woodland characters are friendly and fun — perfect for young children and the whole family. Walks will begin at 5:30 p.m., with groups of 15 going off every 10 minutes. Refreshments, children's activities, and a special treat await your return. And don't call of the plans if it starts to rain. The fun will be moved into the huge Caratunk barn, completely transformed for fall with pumpkins, hay and lanterns. To make a reservation, call (401) 949-5454 ext. 3041.
