New Program from Avon Lake Parks and Recreation Department: The Trail of Haunted Tales

When: Saturday, October 18, 2014, 6:00 - 9:00 PM

Where: Avon Lake Public Library and the Kopf Family Reservation, 32649 Electric Blvd.

What: A Spooky, yet fun, hike through a haunted forest where strange beings tell eerie tales of doom and mystery. This program is designed for those age 5-12, plus their supportive family and friends.

Hikes take place in the darkness, but for those who are a little less sure, the first hour of the program starts before sundown. There is no cost or registration for this program,so those arriving will need to 'check-in' to be placed into a hiking group. Some waiting will be likely, but additional events and activities will be taking place on the grounds.

Food, beverages, and themed merchandise will also be available for a nominal fee.

This program is brought to you by Avon Lake Parks and Recreation Department; Avon Lake Public Library; The Friends of the Library; and the Friends of the Parks. With the support of the Avon lake High School Key Club.

Where:

Soccer Sportsplex
31515 Lorain Rd.

8 AM – 9 PM ~ $5.00 (Early Bird shoppers will be entered into a $25 Gift Card Drawing!)
