Experience a truly magical old-fashioned Halloween treat at Hallowe’en at

The yellow-brick road leads to journeys through Wonderland, Sleepy Hollow with

and Gretel and a Mad Scientist on the loose. Warm up with hot brew, fresh dough-
nuts and collect treats along the way. New this year (for an addition charge): Climb
aboard a horse-drawn hayride that takes you to a Fairy Tale Feast with spooky
activities for little ghosts and ghouls; and the Eagle Tavern Harvest Supper, an
evening of 19th-century Hallowe’en fun, replete with parlor games and costumed
characters. $14.50/members; $17/nonmenbers. (800) 835-5237; thehenryford.org.
