The Haumerson’s Pond Haunted Trail, a popular and annual Halloween event, drew a crowd Friday night.
The family-friendly event repeats tonight, Saturday, Oct. 29, until 9 p.m. at the Haumerson’s Pond warminghouse and Bark River Nature Park trails, 550 N. Fourth St. East, in Fort Atkinson.
A donation of at least $2 per person is suggested. Proceeds go toward Haumerson’s Pond improvements.
Food and hot beverages will be available for purchase.
