I hope this blog post finds you all in a ghostly mood as one of my favorite holidays will be celebrated this weekend.
This Saturday, October 31st, is Halloween night, when costumed kids will be knocking on Boone County doors in hopes of treats. If you’re going to participate, know that both Lebanon and Zionsville have posted 6:30pm – 8pm as official Trick or Treat hours.
The good folks at the Lebanon law firm of Parr, Richey, Obremskey, Frandsen & Patterson have published a most excellent web page on tips to make this Halloween a fun and safe event. To read this web page, please CLICK HERE.
A tip of the tourism hat to the Sullivan/Munce Museum for hosting another successful Ghost Walk weekend. Hundreds attended this event that featured eerie dark night tours of Zionsville’s purported haunted houses, walks and legends. Reports were also spookily good from those attending K&E Farm’s Haunted Hayride and Barn event.
Next year, I hope we’ll see other Boone County towns and organizations get into the Halloween spirit with more haunted houses, fright night events and costume themed parties for our little ghosts and goblins to enjoy. If you’d like some promotional and/or marketing input from the Boone County Convention & Visitors Bureau, give us a call at 765-484-8572 or email info@boonecvb.com
Did you know the Boone County Historical Society is headquartered at the historic Cragun House in Lebanon? This fine organization is on their way to becoming a heritage tourism destination of note as they work to pull together historical groups and organizations in towns across Boone County into one central location to better tell the story behind the interesting and sometimes downright amazing history of our county.
In our next blog we’ll be announcing details of a free Tourism Workshop the BooneCCVB will be hosting for all festivals, events, attractions and other tourism related organizations, stores or committees in Boone County.
And look for me at your door this Saturday. I’ll be the really tall kid in the Headless Horseman costume with a pillow case for my candy sack who really loves Reeces Peanut Butter cups and Snickers candy bars.
