It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our upcoming Ghosts & Goblins Gala has been canceled due to lower-than-anticipated ticket sales.

We were looking forward to bringing our community together for this special evening, but we believe taking a step back will allow us to plan an even more memorable event in the spring.

We are hopeful to reschedule the Gala for March and look forward to celebrating with you then! Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support of Autrey Mill Nature Preserve & Heritage Center. Your support helps us continue our mission of connecting our community with nature and local history.

We look forward to gathering with you in the spring!
