Hitch Up For Hayrides At Broemmelsiek Park

Enjoy an old-fashioned hayride
at Broemmelsiek Park, 1615 Schwede Road near Wentzville (off Highway
DD/Winghaven Boulevard) weekends beginning Sept. 20 through Nov. 17. Groups of
all ages are welcome to enjoy the fun of a hayride without traveling miles from
home.

Two tractor-pulled
wagons take guests on a 45-minute ride through tree-lined fields of the park.
Afterwards, participants can enjoy sitting around a glowing campfire for an
hour to roast their own treats. Guests may also bring non-alcoholic beverages,
but glass containers are prohibited on the wagons or at the campfire site.

Advanced reservations
are required by contacting the St. Charles County Parks Department at
636.949.7535. The cost is $125 per wagon with a maximum of 20 people. Hayrides
may be reserved for 6, 7, and 8 p.m. on Fridays and 5, 6, 7, and 8 p.m. on
Saturdays and Sundays.

In addition to the
group hayrides, individual families and small groups can also join in the fun
of a Hayride Hoedown at Broemmelsiek Park on Saturday, Oct. 26. Guests will
experience a 45-minute wagon ride through the park, along with a light dinner,
s'mores, and the foot-stomping, knee-slapping performance of Babaloo, a one-man
musical comedy act suitable for all ages.

Cost for this special
event is $10.50 per person, and advanced reservations before Oct. 18 are
required. Sessions are offered at 5, 5:45 and 6:30 p.m., and are limited to 40
participants per session. To register your family or small group to participate
in the Hayride Hoedown, please call the St. Charles County Parks and Recreation
Department at 636.949.7535.
