‘Scary Halloween’ Thursday night at maritime park

All are invited

by Bill Powell
Events Director
Deltaville Maritime Museum

Yes, Halloween is on what we will for this year name “Terrible Thursday,” and, ready or not, the goblins, ghouls, ghosties, and maybe a witch, warlock, zombie or two are beginning to stir, moan and generally raise a ruckus in the Wailin’ Woods and for the hayrides in the Field of Screams at the maritime park.

All the volunteers at Deltaville Maritime Museum’s 14th Annual “Scary Halloween in the Park” are turning on the ghost detector as Halloween takes place, Thursday, October 31, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the maritime park at 287 Jackson Creek Road. Please note new times!

There’ll be plenty of candy and levels of scariness for costumed folks (and real spooks) of all ages. Parking in our convenient lots and admission to this event are always free to the public.

Scary Halloween in the Park is being held on the actual date of Halloween. Thanks to Sheriff Bushey and the Middlesex deputies who graciously help with our parking.

Preparation for Halloween is hard under way but volunteers are still needed. Call the museum office at 776-7200. The museum and park are encouraging anyone who wants to help set up, put together the “scary stuff” for either the Field of Screams or the Wailin’ Woods, help with the preparation, give out candy in the Pavilion of Peril, distribute candy to the tables, manage the hay wagon loading, donate candy or money, or just help in general, to contact us. Businesses, organizations and individuals are all welcome even up to the last minute.

We welcome sponsors Tiffany Jewell, Realtor, and Mason Realty Inc. and volunteer/donors Rick and Becky Lee, Margie Moore, and Tom and Mary Armentrout to our Halloween sponsor/volunteer/donor list printed in last week’s Sentinel.
