Last Weekend to Catch Muttville Comix at Long Island Game Farm

Sept. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- (Manorville, NY) — This Labor Day weekend, visitors will have one more chance to see Johnny Peers’ Muttville Comix Canine Comedy Show at Long Island Game Farm’s 500-seat amphitheater. The final day of the show is September 6. Show times are noon and 3 p.m. on Friday and Monday, and noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Since 1980, Muttville Comix has been performing all over the country, including such notable venues as The White House and Disneyland. Mr. Peers, a former professional clown with Ringling Bros. and the Barnum & Bailey Circus, performs with his 15 dogs, most of which have been rescued from shelters. During the show, Mr. Peers and his canine crew will perform a variety of tricks, such as jumping rope, ladder climbing, tightrope walking and skateboarding.

In addition to seeing the show, visitors can see the animals at the Game Farm, but the season is quickly drawing to a close. The last day for the Game Farm is October 11.

Long Island Game Farm is the ideal destination for those who want to stop somewhere for some family-friendly entertainment while traveling to or coming from the East End of Long Island during the autumn season.  Adults and children alike can see hundreds of animals, including red kangaroos, kinkajous, cougars, Barbados sheep, peacocks and the only lemurs born and bred on Long Island.  The Long Island Game Farm also has various breeds of monkeys, buffalo, colorful parrots, zebras, aoudads, camels, ostrich, alligators and much more.

Visitors can also explore nature trails that lead to places such as “Bambiland,” “The Nursery” and “Old McDonald’s Farmyard.”  They can also pet, cuddle and — unlike most zoos — feed the baby animals such as pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits and ponies.

For the children, there are carnival-style rides such as the Spinning Teacups, Rio Grande Mini Train and the Antique Carousel.  Pony rides are also available on weekends during the off-season.  In addition, children can watch shows and animal activities that are offered every day.

Off-season rates are available, starting September 7.  For prices, visit www.longislandgamefarm.com.

After this season, the Game Farm will reopen on April 2011.  For more information about Long Island Game Farm, call (631) 878-6670, or visit www.longislandgamefarm.com.
