Palatine Stables to Host 14th Annual Fall Festival Saturday

Families with children of all ages are welcome to take part in the 14th annual Fall Festival at Palatine Stables, 1510 W. Northwest Highway, Saturday, Oct. 1.

The event will include a petting zoo, wagon rides drawn by a team of horses and pony rides.

“It’s really a fun-filled event for the whole community; you don’t have to be an equine enthusiast to have a great time close to home here in Palatine,” said Toni Bruns, trainer and barn manger of the Palatine Stables.

Other activities consist of make and take crafts, pumpkin carving and riding demonstrations by show team riders, where kids and their horses will be jumping for the crowd.

Bruns said hot dogs, nachos and refreshments will be available at the concession stand, and pumpkins also will be for sale.

Activities included with the free admission are the petting zoo, wagon rides and riding demonstrations. 

Tickets for $1 each will be sold for pony rides, crafts and pumpkin carving.

“Parents, grandparents, children and friends should all come out and enjoy themselves,” Bruns said.

The Fall Festival will be held on Saturday Oct. 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
