Looking for a Hauntingly Good Time...

Trick or Treat...

Besides sipping a warm mug of hot apple cider and watching 'It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' October is a great time to become victim to some of the areas best haunted attractions.

The Headless Horseman Hayride
This Saturday, October 9, 2010 from 12:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. the Headless Horseman will be hosting a children's day.  Where the scare level is toned down.  There will still be the classic hayrides with a friendly storyteller telling scary tales, as well as face painting, corn maze, haunted gardens, country games, and entertainment. 

For a much more hair raising experience go during the evening.  Children 5 years old and under are not permitted to attend the evening shows.  It is not recommended for children 8 years old and under.

You do need to make reservations!  You can do so online or by phone.
It is a little pricey but believe me it is worth the money!!!

Frankenstein's Fortress
14th year this freaky fortress has been in operation.  This haunted attraction was featured on the Martha Stewart Living show and is a part of a community effort.  "One of its major features is the fact that 95% of the props and costumes are also made from recycled materials, this gives this Haunted Attraction its unique character and all that have seen it rave."  Sounds like something I would be interested in seeing ;). 

Visit this attraction during any weekend in October.  Fri., & Sat. 6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m.,              Sun. 6:30 p.m. -8:30 p.m. $15 adults, $5 for children 10 and under-
No refunds are given.  Keep that in mind when bringing children along.
