Harvest Festival Haunts BG Saturday

The 26th annual Bowling Green Harvest Festival takes over Main Street this Saturday, Oct. 17, with a new spooky spin, a professionally designed “haunted house” attraction.

Longtime favorites will include the classic car and truck show, artisan crafts, gourmet food trucks, a costume contest, petting zoo, pumpkin decorating and live music throughout the day. A beer garden will be open from 2-5:30 p.m.

The Caroline County Sheriff’s Office will display a cruiser with its new breast-cancer-awareness graphic. Donate $1 and receive a pink ribbon to place on the car and help “Cover the Cruiser” to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

The Town of Bowling Green partnered with DinoTyme Productions and Caroline Community Theatre to create the family-friendly “Dead Whispers” haunted house, centrally located at 103 N. Main Street in a vacant retail space, open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

While large crowds are anticipated at the Harvest Festival, there will be a final opportunity to brave “Dead Whispers” the following Sunday, Oct. 18, from noon to 7 p.m.

Admission to the fest is free. Entry to the haunted house is $5 per person.
