Halloween arrives early with the return of the Haunted Trails Fest. Scheduled Saturday, Oct. 25, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Colleyville Nature Center, this popular event features a creepy journey along a pathway filled with scary creatures, spooky sounds, and special effects.
For younger children, ghosts and goblins of a more friendly variety (think Casper) will haunt the trail from 7:00-7:30 p.m. The fright factor intensifies after 7:30 p.m.
Other Haunted Trails activities include games, crafts, pumpkin decorating, costume contests, and prizes. The haunted trail is $2 per person; all other activities are free.
The haunted trail is meant to scare and may not be appropriate for some children.The trail is suggested for children 5 and up, but games and contests may be enjoyed by all.
The Colleyville Nature Center is located near the intersection of Mill Creek and Mill Wood drives in Colleyville, off Glade Road between Bransford and Precinct Line roads.
The Haunted Trails Fest is presented by Colleyville PARD, in conjunction with the Colleyville Public Library. For more information, call 817.503.1180.
On Halloween night, the Colleyville Fire Department is offering “Fire Safety Tricks & Halloween Treats” at the Central Fire Station, 5209 Colleyville Boulevard. Hours are 6:00-9:00 p.m.
In addition to treats, tours of the fire station and fire engine will be conducted. Family Fire Escape grid maps will also be available for kids to take home and complete with their families.
