Family Halloween festivities feature food, games and costume parades

WOODSTOCK — The young “Pumpkin Bowling Champion” dressed in monster costume tries the next challenge: to eat a doughnut hanging from a string at a past Halloween celebration at Billings Farm and Museum. This year, the 21st Annual Family Halloween will take place Sunday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Children in costume receive free admission when accompanied by an adult.

Pumpkin carving, doughnuts-on-a-string, wagon rides, cranking pumpkin ice cream, plus “not-too-scary” Halloween stories, pumpkin games, and animal programs will be featured. Costume parades take place at 12-noon and 2 p.m. For more information visit www.billingsfarm.org.
