Come to Camp Fire's Haunted Forest Hayride!

Make sure to bring your whole family to the Haunted Forest Hayride at Camp DaKaNi!

The change in the weather really makes me start thinking about the Haunted Forest Hayride Event here at Camp DaKaNi. My parents brought our whole family to this event (before I started working here), and I think the one who screamed the most was my mother. A couple of years later when I was working here, my parents volunteered to be the ticket sellers each night and I had fun being the one who actually scared my mother. (Good thing for me she is a good sport and loves Halloween.) As soon as I started dating my husband, he became involved in the event, and eventually evolved to being a “parker”, something he felt more comfortable with than being a character in a scene. However, my son, who is getting ready to graduate from college, was my “victim” for probably 8-10 years, and then in his own scene with friends for several years after that.

These days I love being a witch out in the forest and watching all the children and parents go by, all bundled up together on the hay, cuddling for warmth and courage. The Haunted Forest Hayride will be something your children remember and talk about every year about this time. It is so much fun to be a part of an event that brings families together just for FUN. The smell of wood smoke, the hooting of owls and scratching around of armadillos – we’ve got it all + Dracula and Frankenstein lurking along the Moonlight Trail. Don’t miss out – Join us on Saturday, October 25th (7:30 to 9:30 pm); Tuesday, October 28th (7 to 9 pm), and Thursday, October 30th (7 to 9 pm). It’s still the best Halloween event for the money, at $5 per person. You can even top the evening off with a hotdog and a S’More. Call me at 478-5646, if you have questions.
