As Halloween nears, Adams theatre students prepare to participate in Dinosaur Hill’s annual Halloween Hoot. The tradition continued this year on the weekend of October 20. Groups of families will walk the nature preserve’s trails as skits are performed.

Doughnuts and cider will be offered to enjoy after the walk. Families will also get the chance to gather around a campfire and watch live entertainment. Crafts and Halloween themed carnival games are available for kids with the purchase of a ticket.

Both children and adults need tickets, which must be purchased ahead of time online. All tickets sell for $7.00, and can only be used for a chosen time. Groups of 30 people will enter the trails every 10 minutes. Tickets sell out quickly and will not be available at the door.

This year’s Halloween Hoot will start Friday, October 20 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It continues on Saturday, October 21 starting at 4 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. The final time slots are available on Sunday, October 22 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Adams theatre students will be performing a fairy tale themed skit for families walking through the woods and handing out candy to children. An informational meeting will be held after school on October 19 for participating theater students. The Halloween Hoot is a way for students to get involved with the community and help provide a fun experience for families and children.
