Join us for the Waverly Activity Center’s Hometown Hoedown, our big annual Dinner & Auction Fundraiser, on Saturday, October 10th!

Enjoy a fun evening featuring a barbecue dinner catered by The Q Wagon with all the fixings, music, entertainment, a silent auction, raffle, and plenty of hometown fun. The evening begins with our Front Porch Swing Social from 5:00–6:00 PM, followed by Dinner & Auction from 6:00–8:00 PM.
Individual tickets are $40, and seating is limited, so be sure to reserve yours soon!

Proceeds from this special evening will help the Waverly Activity Center expand the programs and services we provide to our community. By attending, you’re not only enjoying a great night out, you’re supporting a local nonprofit that works year-round to serve our neighbors and strengthen our community.

To reserve your tickets, call 681-445-3086 or register at www.wacwv.org.

Come enjoy good food, good company, and a great cause. We hope to see you at the Hometown Hoedown!

Join Merry Lea this fall for an “enchanted” night hike! Trail guides will lead groups by lantern-light to meet real “live” animals on our trails. These friendly creatures will tell you about their diets, habits and favorite places. Our costumed staff and volunteers will answer questions about life as a native Indiana animal. Hikes are one hour long and head out about every 25 minutes.

While you wait for a guide, enjoy music and snacks. End the evening sipping hot cocoa around a campfire! This family-friendly evening is a great alternative to Halloween events that are too scary for young children.

Cost: $5/ person (cash preferred). *Ages 2 & under are free.

Includes snacks and hot cocoa, extra refreshments available for additional fee.

Location: Farmstead | 2152 S 425 W, Albion, IN 46701

Time: October 16 & 17, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
