Hobbs State Park - Conservation Area will be holding its first ever old fashioned hay ride aboard a tractor-pulled wagon in the lovely War Eagle Valley at 6 p.m. Friday, April 16. The group will stop at a designated spot to build a campfire to roast their own hotdogs. and marshmallows.

After everyone has eaten, outdoor enthusiast Bob Ross will take the group on an “owl prowl”. Bob is an expert at making owl calls that encourage local barred owls to talk back to him. Learn more about owls.

The cost is $6 for adults, $3 for children. For reservations call the Hobbs Visitor Center, 479-789-5000.
