Families and thrill-seekers gathered at 565935 Towerline Road for Harry’s Scary Halloween Walk on Saturday, Oct. 11, an evening filled with eerie excitement, laughter, and Halloween spirit. The annual event transformed the property into a spooky trail of frightful fun, complete with haunting decorations, costumed hosts, and a few unexpected scares along the way. Guests of all ages braved the walk, exploring the darkened path lined with glowing pumpkins, creepy sound effects, and lurking figures. Many visitors arrived in costume, adding to the festive atmosphere. After their walk through the haunted trail, attendees gathered to enjoy hot dogs, refreshments, and the warmth of community camaraderie. The family-friendly event encouraged everyone to “enter at their own risk” with donations welcomed in support of Woodstock Kitten Nursery and Rescue. The organizers expressed gratitude to all who attended and helped make the evening a memorable Halloween highlight for the Woodstock area.
