Members of the Manheim Township Recreation and Park Planning Department are organizing the sixth annual Halloween Carnival on the grounds of the Stauffer Mansion.
A Trunk or Treat portion of the event will be hosted by the Manheim Township Police, and other township departments will take part, including the fire and public works departments. Stopa noted that the Recreation and Park Planning trunk theme will be the “Wizard of Oz.” Entertainers will include two balloon animal twisters and a stilt walker who juggles. According to Michael Kurland, youth sports and activities manager, those who are brave may want to check out the haunted hallway. “We will have five stalls that will have various themes,” said Kurland, who listed spiders, pirates, a graveyard scene, and a witch’s lair among the frightening themes down the hall. Kurland also discussed a costume parade that will begin at the tennis courts at 1:30 p.m. Prizes in the form of gift cards will be awarded to contestants in three age groups, along with a prize for a costumed group.
