How to Spend Halloween

With one more week left before Halloween, it’s time to take advantage of Lane County’s fun autumn activities.  Here’s just a sampling of the events happening in the area this week.

Sail on the “Hayflower” and see pumpkins launched by a trebuchet at Colonial Harvest Days at Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm.  See their website for more details.

Enjoy horse-drawn hayrides, a pumpkin patch and a haunted house during Haunted Nights at Lone Pine Farms.  For dates and times, click here.

Take advantage of Wednesday Wine Nights at Marché Museum Café by viewing “Faster than a Speeding Bullet: The Art of the Superhero” currently on display at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and enjoying discounted wine.  See the JSMA website to see all the details.

Wear your Halloween costume and receive a 50% discount on any public skate session this week at the Lane Events Center skating rink.  For public session schedules, see the Lane Ice Center calendar.

Get spooked and make a difference on Friday or Saturday night by attending the Haunted House at Veneta’s Broadway Events Center: receive half-price admission into the Haunted House by bringing a non-perishable food item to donate.

Have little ones who might be afraid of a scary haunted house?  Head to the Creswell Grange from 5-6 on Friday night for a special toned-down version of their haunted house; the scarier version begin at 7 pm and last until 10 pm.

Further information on all of the events listed above can be found at the Travel Lane County calendar.
