The park will then be opened for "scarier activities."

€ A Haunted House.
€ Malice in Wonderland
€ Jumping Castle
€ Pumpkin Carving Contest - Bring in your pumpkin by 6 p.m.; prize awarded at 8 p.m.
€ Games, booths, in the smaller ramadas and the walking trail pullouts.
€ A cakewalk on the basketball courts (not included in entry fee)
€ Concessions (not included in entry fee)
Family fun will continue until 8:30 p.m., she said.
