Pine Knot Ave. and Village Dr., which comprise the “L” in the Village, will again be closed off so youngsters can safely visit over 60 stores that pass out free candy. Under cover of darkness, vampires and witches roam the streets freely to enjoy the always-scary welcome awaiting guests at Chad’s Place and other popular haunts.

    Along with Village businesses, local organizations set up booths for hot chocolate, safety information and trick-or-treating, creating a festive and safe Halloween adventure the whole family enjoys. Streets close to traffic at 4 p.m. and reopen at 9 p.m. Parking is available in the Bartlett lot.

    Support Moonridge Animal Park’s “Home for Life” relocation campaign by attending the annual “Boo in the Zoo,” on Oct. 29 from 3:30-6:30 p.m. so as to not conflict with “Halloween in the Village.” There’s howling good attractions including goblins, witches brew, electric dungeon of doom, graveyard, witches lair, scarecrow land, pumpkin patch and more.

    All for regular zoo admission of $9, $6 seniors/ages 3-10, under 3 free. Call the zoo at (909) 584-1299 or (909) 878-4200.
