The Belfield Parks and Recreation Department will hold a “Spooky Community Trunk R’ Treat” from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31 on Main Street in Belfield. Anyone who would like to decorate their trunk and hand out candy is encouraged to show up at 12:30 p.m.
The Belfield Volunteer Fire Department is hosting a haunted house called the "Twisted Shop of Horrors." Admission is $15. Anyone under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent’s signature to enter. The haunted house will be open from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Oct. 29-31.
“Do you dare enter to face the angry spirits of the early frontier, forever trapped within these walls? The real question is will they let you leave once inside?” the fire department asked in a Facebook event post.
