Night Hunt and Barbeque at Mr. & Mrs. Rodion Cantacuzene’s Landfall Farm, Saturday, October 8, at 5 p.m.: The Cantacuzenes provide us with a beautiful setting and a camp fire for roasting marshmallows, fun for children of all ages. The Night Hunt attracts foxhunters and non-foxhunters alike, since riding is not involved. After a barbeque, enjoy walking through the woods or sitting by the fire, listening to the music of the Middleburg Hunt foxhounds under the moon. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring your flash light. You don’t want to miss this popular evening.
