Be prepared for a spine tingling, jump out of your pants walk thru the haunted woods! Join the Hilltown Hikers and our volunteers at our Granite Saw property. We will have a haunted trail complete with a 12-foot diameter cutting saw, real tombstones, haunted gags, bloody ghouls, skin crawling sound show, zombies and more! What is lurking in those woods? Don’t worry, we will make sure you get out….alive! AND THERES MORE! The Town of Chester invites all ghouls, ghosts, and goblins to gather at the Chester Ball Field on Emery Street for frights and fun! We’ll kick things off at 3 pm for the little ghouls with pumpkin painting, face painting, followed by a rag-shag parade. Cheer or compete in our inflatable race at 4:30 p.m. (all are welcome to participate!) Then sink your fangs into Trunk or Treat, live music, and a food feast while spooky spirits roam the grounds. Dress to impress (or terrify!) for our costume contests, followed by an award ceremony with trophies and prizes for trunks and costumes. Warm your bones by the fire at the snack shack, where free cider, cocoa and popcorn await... We hope to see you all there! No dogs please on the haunted trail.
