"Restore The Gore" Halloween Spooktacular Coming Up In Barnegat This Weekend

Prepare to be scared.

“Restore the Gore” is coming to town again, just in time for Halloween.

The two-day event - sponsored by the Barnegat Education Foundation - will run both Saturday and Sunday this weekend at the Elizabeth V. Edwards School in on Route 9 in Barnegat.

There will actually be two separate events. Smaller children can attend a Halloween carnival, with mazes, games, contests and amusements, said Bill Cox, transportation director for the Barnegat school district.

At night, things will turn a little creepier, with haunted school bus rides for older children and teenagers, Cox said.

The bus will wind through town and pass by the Cox House and the Barnegat Historic Village, accompanied by zombies along the way, he said.

The carnival will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The bus rides are slated to begin at 7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m.

All proceeds will benefit the Barnegat Education Foundation.
