We have dinosaur shows up on our big stage. We have some dinosaur trainers walking around. We even got a professor in dinosaurs to go run our pig shows and our candy cannon. So, a little bit of a change up this year for those who are used to the show, they&#8217;re going to find something a little new and a little fun,\u201d said Mercuri.<\/p>\n<p>Mercuri said this was the first year Dino Fest opened during Labor Day weekend, and the event saw a strong turnout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the first time we&#8217;ve ever been open for Labor Day weekend, we didn&#8217;t really know what to expect going into it. But it&#8217;s been a really good long weekend. It&#8217;s been great weather and as you can see, there&#8217;s a lot of people here to enjoy it too,\u201d said Mercuri.<\/p>\n<p>Jurassic Farm Dino Fest runs through September 27th at Roba Family Farms.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Jurassic Farm Dino Fest, <a href=\"https:\/\/robafamilyfarms.com\/pages\/jurassic-farm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">click here. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NORTH ABINGTON TWP., LACKAWANNA CO.
