Scarecrows, a creaking old barn and harvest-season dread take over a Sherwood Park yard for the last two weekends of October, wrapping up on Halloween night.

Admission is free. The hosts are collecting food bank donations, so bring a few non-perishables.

All ages are welcome. If you’re coming with little ones or easily rattled friends, tell the greeter at the entrance and they’ll dial the scare level down. Thrill-seekers can ask for the full experience.
