Creepy Fun Near Your Rancho Santa Fe Home

Fall is at its peak and the air is crisp and cool. It’s a perfect time to spend with nature and explore some otherwise unexamined habitats. Kids and parents alike will be in awe at the Autumn Harvest Tour Family Day at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Families who live in Rancho Santa Fe won’t want to miss out on this seasonal event.
This Saturday, October 29th, with Halloween upon us, everyone can enjoy an afternoon at the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Please wear your costumes and be a guest on a guided tour through the Halloween appropriate “Creepy Critter Cave”.

As spine tingling as they seem, these natural scares are fascinating to learn about, especially during such a frightful weekend.
Also part of the fun, the Autumn Harvest Tour Family day will host a costume contest, craft activities, carnival games, pumpkin decorating and more. The fun begins at 1 p.m. and lasts until 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 per child and adults are free. For more information, click here.

Start A Chain Reaction Near Your Rancho Santa Fe Home

If you live in Rancho Santa Fe, you have opportunity to make a difference by attending Rachel’s Challenge hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe School District on Thursday, Oct. 20th from 6 to 7 p.m. This special event about creating change in a positive way will be held at the Performing Arts Center located near your Rancho Santa Fe home at 5927 La Granada Street.

Seventeen year old Rachel Scott was a victim of the tragedy at Columbine High School in 1999. She once said, “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.”
The organization founded in her memory seeks to do just that – create a chain reaction and empower every person to create a permanent positive culture change in their school, business and community of kindness and compassion. This community event is offered free of charge and all Rancho Santa Fe residents are invited to attend. To find out more, click here.
