<\/a><\/p>\nOn Sunday, my family and I, with our friends (and Westside Mommy contributors) Jonna Coleman<\/strong><\/a> and her daughters Shelby<\/a> <\/strong>and Lucy<\/strong><\/a>, attended a special press event at Knott’s Berry Farm to experience Ghost Town Alive! <\/strong><\/em>Ghost Town is one of my favorite sections of Knott’s Berry Farm, because the theme, characters, and the great food<\/a>!<\/p>\n Ghost Town Alive!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>brings the town of Calico to life with character actors, story lines, activities, and more! We participated in a\u00a0Ghost Town Alive!<\/em> Photo Hunt, which helped us explore and document our adventures through social media, with a chance to win prizes throughout the day.<\/p>\n Here are some of our favorites from the day:<\/p>\n The school teacher tried to show the girls how to play\u00a0Game of Graces<\/a><\/em>, a two-player catching game for girls invented in France, and very popular in the 1800’s. She wasn’t very successful with our four and seven year olds, but I commend her for trying!<\/p>\n We always love visiting the farm animals. During our visit, we saw some friendly horses and a donkey!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThank you, Knott’s Berry Farm, we had a fantastic time!<\/h5>\n
Reading the Latest News in the “Calico Gazette”<\/h2>\n
<\/a>What’s cool is they had different newspaper headlines throughout the day (the second paper’s headline was “Mayfield Captured”), and the content was like a real old-timey newspaper with relevant information for other Ghost Town Alive!<\/em> events, such as “Vote Wheeler for Sheriff”, “Sad Eye Joe Gets Parole Date”, and A Special Invitation to the Hoedown.<\/p>\nLearning something new in the town Schoolhouse<\/h2>\n
