Golden Bear Scare

There are rumblings occuring in Smith Nature Park as Old Man Smith and the haunted forrest is coming to life. Come out to the Park as a UACA 'Scare Ranger' will help guide along the path explaining how it came to be haunted! The forest starts less haunted for the little ones and gets progressively scarier as the night unfolds.
