HauntFest Mini Event THIS WEEKEND!!

MUAHAHAHAHAAAA!! THE TIME HAS COME! Join HauntFest for its Mini Event at Hopkins Haunted Hayride THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!! The HauntFest addition is totally FREE OF CHARGE, and you have the option to purchase haunted hayride tickets online or at the door if you desire.

When doors open at 5 PM, the fun begins with the HauntFest Mini Market, hosting vendors such as rage rooms, jewelry makers, clothing designers, taxidermists, and other oddity vendors for your shopping pleasure, all while you are terrorized by our HauntFest Scaracters wandering the field... Paint FREE miniature plastic pumpkins at the HauntFest booth, and roast some s’mores by the fire! On opening night at 6 PM, Jet Rawls Trivia will begin hosting Terror Trivia throughout the night for anyone who wishes to test their knowledge of the spooky and unusual, and on the 25th from 8-9 PM, T.C. Costello will be sharing his spooky accordion tunes… Enjoy food and drink at the venue, as well! Feel free to come in costume to compete in our Costume Contests at 9 PM each night!
