Halloween camping is planned

Greenbo Lake State Resort Park at Greenup, Ky., will have Camper Halloween on Oct. 23 and 24 and Oct. 30 and 31.

There will be a scavenger hunt, hayrides, costume contest, pumpkin carving, and site decorating contest and campsite trick or treating. Haunted trail will be available both weekends from dark until 10:30 p.m. Trail walks will begin at the community pool parking lot. Admission fee will be $5 per person and will include hayride back to parking lot. The haunted trail is definitely not for the faint of heart. For information, call (800) 325-0083.
