Key Pen Parks host annual pre-Halloween event

Get ready for sneaky schemes, spooky silliness and spellbinding sweets at Key Pen Parks seventh-annual All Hallows Eve Celebration from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, at Volunteer Park.

According to organizers of this free event, “It is perfect for families looking to enjoy a little ghoulish time outdoors roasting s’mores, searching for treats, launching apples, or traveling through the Red Barn-created haunted forest at the park.”

“There will be a costume contest, music by a local DJ, and some new, hair-raising features to thrill you. Bring your already-carved pumpkin for the ghastly gourd face-off,”said Christine Hallock, marketing coordinator/recreation specialist.
