Halloween Events in Amish Country
Ahh, Halloween is on Saturday. I have 500 pieces of candy, and I’m still not sure that it’s going to be enough. Saturday is the big day, and it makes me nervous that there will be twice as many kids out as usual. This year, I have out a half bale of hay and 4 pumpkins, and that’s the most festive I’ve been for Halloween in years.
Here are a few events that are going on in Amish Country to help get you in the Halloween mood.
Thursday, October 29
The Elkhart Environmental Center annual Monster Hike. Bring your children out to trick or treat for Halloween with nature’s monsters. They will see live creepy crawlers. Costumes are encouraged. A $3 donation is appreciated. Please call 293-5070 to register. It starts at 11am.
Friday, October 30
Hall of Heroes, the largest Superhero Museum in the world has been taken over by Doctor Doom and his fellow nefarious colleagues. Experience this Halloween Extravaganza as seen from the villain’s point of view. From 7pm to 10pm, admission is $5.
Trick or Treat on Main Street in Goshen. Starting at Noon, you can visit participating Main Street businesses and do your trick or treating, and shopping all at once. It’s a good way to get your little ones ready for the big day.
Saturday, October 31
American Countryside Farmers Market will give treats to all kids who dress in costume. There will be games, clown, balloons, and entertainment. It will be a fun time for all those who want to celebrate a little earlier in the day.
