Rescue Ranch will host its Outdoor Explorers Day on Friday, November 11, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Throughout the day, families can enjoy the barnyard animal ambassadors, animal ambassador presentations, outdoor games, and the Waffle Chick food truck.

In addition, guests will have access to the Ranch’s 10,000-square-foot inclusive playground.

Admission is $5 per person with children under age 1 admitted free. In honor of Veterans Day, active-duty military members and veterans are free with ID.

All proceeds from the Outdoor Explorers Day benefit the nonprofit animal welfare organization which promotes respect for all animals through education; is committed to agricultural, environmental and wildlife conservation; and facilitates rehabilitation, rescue, and responsible pet ownership in order to enhance the human-animal bond.

Rescue Ranch is located at 1424 Turnersburg Highway in Statesville.
