Organizers of the annual Trunk or Treat at Islamorada’s Founders Park are seeking to revive a scary-good favorite that once spooked event-goers.
As the sun sets over the park, the neighboring Plantation Key Hammock Preserve will transform into a haunted forest on Saturday, Oct. 25. Ghouls, goblins, zombies, aliens and other haunting creatures are encouraged to reserve a spot on the trail to spook hayriders.
Anne Onsgard, assistant park manager, said 2019 was the last time the haunted forest hayride shook Trunk or Treat attendees.
“We need businesses or groups of citizens to decorate a spot on the trail to be the entertainment for the hayride,” she said. “They can decorate to any theme they like and use their creativity to scare and entertain guests.”
Haunted hayrides through the forest are scheduled to go from 6 to 8:30 p.m. To sign up for a spot on the trail, click here.
