Hi All,
Halloween is soon upon us and this weekend many entertaining events are happening in the area. Check out the following family budget- friendly happenings or pass the info along to those with young children!
The ever popular, Haunted Hayride, orchestrated entirely by Rockport Cub Scouts is held on Saturday, from 6-9 pm, at the top of Summit Ave. in Rockport. A tractor pulled cart travels through the town forest, where various spooky vignettes are creating by different “packs”. Admission is $4.00 pp and hamburgers, hot dogs, chowder & baked goods will be for sale. This was always one of my favorite fall family events (unfortunately my son won’t take me along anymore, too old!).
On Sunday from 2-4 pm, Kids Unlimited, Toodeloos and Island Arts & Crafts are sponsoring a free Halloween Party with prizes for best costumes, dance, art activities, games and more! The event is taking place at “Hallow Ground” formerly known as the parking lot behind the stores on Main St. (the entrance to the area is on Hancock St.).
Cape Ann Art Haven in partnership with the Annie heater is presenting “Great Blackburn’s Ghost! It’s the Haunted Annie!”, Sunday & Monday from 4-7 pm. The event will be held in the Blackburn building at 1 Washington St. for children 5 years and older. Admission is $5.00 per child, parents & guardians are free.
