Haunted Trail and Bonfire


Saturday, October 15, 2011

Get ready for a night of thrills and chills as you walk along the winding, wooded path at the Haunted Trail and Bonfire! You can walk along the trail and see approximately 12 different spooky scenes for only $1 per person. Each of the scenes are run by volunteers such as the Cub/Boy Scouts, School Groups, Neighborhoods, Jaycees and the past Queens of Lindenhurst, just to name a few. Wagon Rides through McDonald Woods are offered for only $1 or 1 canned food item for the Lake Villa Food Pantry. Other attractions will include the Witches’ Kitchen, where you can purchase many delectable treats, a Kids’ Game Tent, Face Painting, Moonwalk and Pumpkins and Gourds for sale by the Millburn Tree Farm. Check out below all the fun at our Cornstalk Stage! At dusk the Lake Villa Volunteer Fire Department will start the bonfire and we will serve FREE apple cider heated in a cauldron.
