The sixth annual Boo in the Barnyard is set to start at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 29, in front of the Southern Arkansas University Agriculture Center.

The public is invited to attend this safe and fun Halloween event, which will offer a petting zoo, face painting, lots of games with candy prizes, photos with the SAU Mulerider and Molly Ann the mule, and a haunted hallway in the Agri Center.

The event has grown each year since it started, and has seen as many as 1,000 children in recent years. Boo in the Barnyard is hosted by the SAU Agriculture Club, and this year’s event is being sponsored by S&S Home Center and Peoples Bank.
