Fox Hollow Opens
February 16, 2013
Fox Hollow opens to the public on Saturday, February 16.
After
two years of planning, designing, fundraising, and building, Fox Hollow is
ready to open! You've seen pictures, and you've seen us working through the
fence, now experience our brand new exhibit gallery in person!
Our Town Square is filled with
friendly faces and interactive environments. There is a one-of-a-kind kinetic
sculpture in the center where guests can interact with cranks to move heavy
balls through a series of ramps, spirals, twists, and turns. Stores include
Mei's Shoes, Sal's Pizza Parlor, and Harvest Market. Services include a Post
Office, a Vet Clinic, and a Fire Department. If the alarm sign is flashing and
the nearby building is on fire, what happens when you point the hose at it? Can
you make a pizza half mushroom and half peppers? Anyone want ice cream?
Past
the Town Square is Farmer George's farm filled with fresh produce including
peppers, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, apples, pears, and of course corn! Take
care of the animals in the barn and play around in the treehouse. Can you
figure out how to get the corn from the combine to the corn factory to the
market?
Also,
please take a moment to visit the PlayHouse where we have a new ABC Animal
Mural painted by Susan D. Holgersson. Can you find one animal for each letter
of the alphabet?
