Family events in Hollidaysburg, PA

The Halloween Spooktacular Show centers on barrels and poles with a festive costume twist. Competitors in barrels and poles who arrive in costume will be entered into a random drawing for a trophy halter. A costume parade welcomes adults and kids, and prizes are included. Separate costume classes recognize ages 16 and up and ages 15 and under, with awards for the top five in each. If entries exceed 50, the open barrels class will move to a 4D format. There is also a boyfriend and dad barrel race that is strictly for amateurs and will be monitored as such.
