Portage's Haunted Hayride returns to Woodland Park for two spooky weekends, Thursday through Saturday, Oct 15 to 17 and Oct 22 to 24, with the fun starting at 6:30 p.m. The park's trail turns into a haunted ride with concessions and food trucks on site. Tickets are cash-only and the event sells out, so plan to arrive early. It is a favorite fall rite for families who like their scares on the friendly side. Grown-ups can keep the Halloween spirit going the following Friday at the Boos & Brews Brewfest at Oakwood Hall.
