Tonight is Newton Highlands annual FREE! Halloween extravaganza at The Hyde Center on Lincoln St.
The Halloween Party for young kids (7 and under) is from 5 – 6 PM. The haunted house for the big kids (8 and older) is 6:30 – 7:30. This year they’ve created a Haunted Crystal Lake Campground. I saw them setting up this afternoon and as usual this will once again be an elaborate Halloween extravaganza.
This event has been running for 50 years in the Highlands and every year they come up with a different concept and theme. After seeing tonight’s Crystal Lake Campground your kids will never want to go camping again. Don’t miss it.
I stopped by and it was really spooky…great job parks and rec and the Highlands area council..a real 10.
It’s the most fun I’ve ever had inside a toilet.
… loved that Crystal Lake Campground latrine.
The whole thing was quite an operation to behold. There was a big crew of volunteers working yesterday and today building the entire campground from scratch and then for the actual event there was a wildly enthusiastic team of Halloween actors throwing themselves at the all important job of scarring young psyches for life.
Hat’s off to John Rice and his team of Halloween hellraisers.
