Scarecrow Weekend at Spring Mill, Oct. 11-12
Scarecrow Weekend is coming to Indiana's Spring Mill State Park, Oct. 11-12.

Creepy crafts and eerie activities will offer plenty of fun during the daylight hours. Visitors are also encouraged to dress up in their favorite costume and join in the 4:30 p.m. costume parade through the campground. Costumed canines, on a leash, are also welcome. Parade participants should bring a bag of candy with them to pass out to spectators.

The Haunted Village, an annual favorite, transforms the park's Pioneer Village into a frightening place to explore from 7:30 to 10 p.m. on Saturday night. The Haunted Village is not recommended for children younger than 8. Visitors are not permitted to use flashlights while in the village.

The complete program schedule for the weekend is available at dnr.IN.gov/parklake/12066.html

Park admission during the event is $5 per vehicle for in-state residents and $7 per vehicle for out-of-state residents. 2008 Annual Entrance Passes are also available. For more information on this and other upcoming events, contact Coletta Prewitt, (812) 849-4129, cprewitt@dnr.IN.gov.
