Celebrate Halloween in a distinctly different way by taking
a ride into the past aboard the “Halloween Express,” Poway’s own Steam
Locomotive. The evening includes storyteller Charles Johnson, a spooky haunted
house, carnival games, crafts for kids, Thriller dancers and a replica of the
Ectomobile from The Ghostbusters. Most
activities are free to the public.
Returning for its second year is the Carved Pumpkin Contest.
Drop off your already
carved pumpkins at The Gazebo in Old Poway Park by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 27,
2013. “People’s Choice” judging will take place during the evening. Each park visitor
will be given one token to vote for their favorite carved pumpkin (so invite
your family, friends and neighbors to come and show their support for your
entry!). Winners will be announced at 8:00 p.m., at which time prizes will be
awarded. Contest participants are encouraged to pre-register, but they also may
register onsite between 5:00 and 5:15 p.m. There is a $5 registration fee for
pre-registration (by mail until 10/24/2013); on-site registration will require
a $10 fee. Registration forms are available via e-mail at lynnwolseydesigns@gmail.com
