Deltaville Maritime Museum –
The public is invited to join us for Deltaville Maritime Museum and Holly Point Nature Park’s extremely popular 13th Annual “Scary Halloween in the Park” happening Thursday, October 31, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. This is the actual date of Halloween. All area families are welcome. Scary Halloween is a free event sponsored by museum members, local businesses and the maritime museum.
Scary Halloween in the Park offers a safe, spacious park for all on the Peninsula to come and enjoy Halloween. You will find plenty of convenient lit parking, a less scary area in the “Perilous Pavilion” where volunteers and businesses hand out candy to all, hayrides (two wagons this year) through the ghosts, goblins and holo-illusions of the “Field of Screams,” and the very scary paths through the “Wailin’ Woods” for the stout of heart. There is always plenty of candy, candy, candy for all. Hot dogs, hot coffee, and hot chocolate and bottled water will be available.
All businesses, organizations and individuals are welcome to come out and staff their own table to hand out candy, either as a promotion or just plain fun. Interested? Please call Kristen or Renee at the museum office at 804-776-7200. Candy tables are available. Much help is still needed.
