The Haunted Library returns to Stanfi eld this year on Saturday, Oct. 30.
TANFIELD — Hay rides, car-
nival games and a Haunted
Library will take over Bard Park in
Stanfi eld on Saturday, Oct. 30, in
the annual Fall Festival.
Organizer Cecili Longhorn
said the festival will have all its
traditions this year.
“It’s good family fun,” she
said. “I don’t think I’ve ever had
anyone who’s not happy. They all
want to come back.”
A fundraiser for Stanfi eld
Parks and Recreation, the Fall
Festival includes a hay maze, a
hayride, hot dog dinner, a classic
car trunk-or-treat and games.
Small prizes will be handed out
at the game booths, but partici-
pants will also be able to com-
pete for entry into a drawing to
win a big screen television.

Instead of having participants
purchase individual tickets, this
year, the festival will use wrist-
bands that can be purchased for
$20. Longhorn said the goal is to
make the festival less stressful
for parents.
“We want parents to go enjoy
it with their kids and not worry
about needing more tickets or
getting a wallet out every two
minutes,” she said. “We want it
to be good, relaxing, and fun.
People need that.”
The Fall Festival will run from
5-8 p.m. on Oct. 30.
One of Stanfi eld’s most antici-
pated attractions is the Haunted
Library, and Longhorn said it will
return with all the scary surprises.
“A lot of people are used to
how the library looks day-to-day,
so it’s a lot of fun to see how
you can transform the library,”
Longhorn said.

In the past, the Haunted Library
has featured terrifying characters
from monsters to evil clowns, but
this year, it will have a fairy tale-
inspired production: “Scary Tales.”
“Libraries are all about read-
ing and dreaming,” Longhorn
said. “We wanted to capture that
but be scary.”
The Haunted Library will run
from 6-9 p.m. on both Friday,
Oct. 29, and Saturday, Oct.
30. Admission to the Haunted
Library is $5 on its own; one
admission token is included with
the festival wristband.
