The final full week of activities for the 11^th annual Beaches to Woodlands Tour of Santa Rosa County features a variety of Halloween-themed events, more farm fun, sea turtles, a kiln opening and more. “Our fourth week is as busy as any week we’ve had on this year’s tour,” said coordinator Karen Harrell. “The end of the month brings some fun Halloween events that are always popular while our farm and sea life events continue. There are plenty of ways to enjoy this great weather we’ve been blessed with this month.” There are three new events on the final leg of the tour including: Oct. 24-25, the Holloween Murder Mystery Dinner Show presented by The Dream Players Theatre at the Historic Bagdad Museum; Oct. 24, the UF/IFAS West Florida Research & Education Center Fall Harvest Dinner and Oct. 25, the 5k Dead Pirate Glow Run at Juanas at Navarre Beach. Also, Oct. 24-25 is the always-popular Ghost Walk in Downtown Milton, a major fundraiser for the Imogene Theatre and the award-winning Navarre Beach Science Station will host its annual Science Spooktacular by the Sea. On Oct. 25, artists will be on hand for the annual Bagdad Plein Air Paint Out in the Village of Bagdad. Oct. 24, 25 and 26 the Haunted Hayrides and Christmas Tree tagging continue at Whispering Pines Christmas Tree Farm. On Oct. 25 there is a second Sea Turtle Extravaganza at Navarre Beach and on Oct. 25-26 the second weekend for the Boo at the Zoo in Gulf Breeze. Also, Oct. 25 Holley Hill Pottery and Kiln near Navarre will have a fourth open house and kiln opening with “All about Annie’s Clay Creations” and Alyssa’s Antiques in Pace will have its “Ladies Night at Alyssas.” The weekly lecture series continues that day at Arcadia Mill in Milton. Visitors are encouraged to learn about the Village of Bagdad’s rich history and to view some of the items donated by two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson who grew in the small former mill town at the Bagdad Museum. Farming events continue all month-long including the #bubbamaze at Sweet Seasons Farm (maze is designed in two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson’s likeness,) Aquaponics Tours at Clear Creek Farm and a maze, peanuts and hayrides at Holland Farms. Also, fall season zipline tours continue at nearby Adventure Unlimited and Sundays there is free saltwater fishing at Avalon Landing RV Park.
