Oct. 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17: Campfire Ghost Stories (and other fun stuff), Allegheny County Parks
A chill in the air and a crackling campfire make the perfect setting for ghost stories and songs. Kids can wear costumes to compete for prizes, too. Registration is free for Campfire Ghost Stories events. Allegheny County Parks hosts a bunch of other free seasonal activities with a family focus. Hay Day offers hayrides, a maze, a puppet show, a magician and a barnyard petting zoo on Oct. 3. Catch “Hocus Pocus” (PG) and Nightmare Before Christmas” (PG) at a Family Drive-in Movie night. At Punkin Chunkin on Oct. 23, thrill to the sight of pumpkins being launched across a field by a full-size trebuchet. And be sure to visit one of the Trunk or Treat events with costumed kids for an afternoon of car cruise trick-or-treat merriment.
