Only two more weekends to take advantage of the Halloween events in our county. In Reidsville, you won’t want to miss the Nightmare on Scales Street in downtown, the Castle of Horror and Hannibal Creek in the country on Narrow Gauge Road or the Halloween Trail at Freedom Park in Eden. Gather up some friends to hold on to or to scare, and have some fun.

Tuttle’s Farm in Stoneville is offering a corn maze and hay rides. If you want, pack a picnic basket and spend the day on the farm.
