Following the Halloween Hayday, Peck Farm Park will hold the annual Howl-O-Ween Dog Parade. Participants should be sure to arrive early to line-up at 3:45 p.m., as the parade begins promptly at 4. Families and dogs should come dressed in their best costumes. Prizes will be awarded. Pre-registration is recommended for this free event.
"Both events are a fun way to get the whole family into the Halloween spirit," said Traci Wicks, marketing and public relations supervisor. "We're looking forward to seeing all the fantastic costumes and making some great memories."
Teens and Adults: Haunted Hikes at Peck Farm
As night falls and the spirits rise, Peck Farm Prairie will host a terrifying trek through its haunted trails.
"This hike is not for the faint of heart," affirms Traci Wicks. "We recommend this event for those 11 and over. Leave the little ones at home, and prepare to scream."
Antonio's pizza will be available for purchase. Pre-registration is encouraged. The Haunted Hike entrance fee is $8 per person in advance, or $10 at the event.
