Ramona Park In Portage Hosting Monster Mash: Hokus Pokus Event

As soon as it hits September it is Halloween season in my mind and I immediately start making plans for different things I can do to celebrate the season. A family event has just been announced in Portage that has all the best experiences wrapped up into one event, while also staying kid friendly. Ramona Park & Portage Parks & Recreation will host Monster Mash at Ramona Park at 8600 South Sprinkle Road on Saturday, October 30th at 3 p.m.. This event includes trick-or-treating, a ride through a spooky trail and a drive-in style movie in the park beginning at dusk. The movie showing will be the Halloween favorite, Hokus Pokus.

Parking for the movie will begin at 6 p.m. and will be first come, first served. No registration is required, but dressing-up is strongly encouraged. Event planners are suggesting families arrive early as parking is limited. They're also asking for people to bring unused/new/gently used coats, hats, cloves, scarves or other winter apparel to donate locally.
