The Colony's parks department has three more October events on its calendar, from a fishing lesson for young anglers to a costumed movie night at Grandscape. The department is also scheduled to brief the City Council on upcoming events at Wednesday's meeting.
Family Fright Fest, Oct. 24
Stewart Creek Park, 3700 Sparks Road, hosts Family Fright Fest from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. The city's listing promises a costume contest, a hayride, a haunted trail, food trucks, vendors, rides and yard games spread through the park.
Cars pay $15 to enter, and annual park pass holders get in free. People who park outside the gates and walk in pay nothing, according to the listing.
