Massachusetts: 1634 Meadery to host HOWL-o-ween fundraiser for Wolf Hollow

From thelocalnews.news

IPSWICH — Did you know that wolves in the wild may only live between four to six years, challenged by disease, starvation, inter-pack conflict, and human interference?

But in captivity, these majestic animals can live up to three times longer — thanks to organizations like Wolf Hollow, which has been working to protect and educate the public about wolves for over three decades.

Since 1990, Wolf Hollow, a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Massachusetts, has dedicated itself to preserving wolves in the wild through hands-on education and close-up experiences with live wolves.

Operating solely on admissions, gift shop sales, memberships, and donations, the organization depends on community support. And now, the community has a unique opportunity to give back.

This Saturday, October 25, 1634 Meadery in Ipswich (3 Short St.) will be hosting a family-friendly fundraising event from 1 to 5 p.m. to benefit Wolf Hollow. The event will feature Chelsea Morey, who will lead interactive educational sessions packed with wolf facts, touchable artefacts, and fun for all ages.

To sweeten the deal, 1634 Meadery will donate $1 from every bottle, glass of mead, or tasting flight sold during the event to Wolf Hollow. It’s a chance to enjoy local mead, learn about these incredible animals, and support a vital conservation mission all at once.

The Ipswich fundraiser conveniently follows the town’s downtown trick-or-treating festivities, offering families a perfect way to continue the HOWL-o-ween celebration while doing some good for wildlife.

So bring the kids, raise a glass, and help ensure these powerful and vital animals continue to thrive in the wild.

Another fun fact: Grey wolves, often misunderstood, are twice the size of coyotes, growing up to six feet in length and three feet tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 100 pounds, with some exceptional individuals like a massive 140-pound grey wolf documented in Alaska in 1977.
