Colin Anicka, a 17-month-old, of Ludlow, parades in a skunk costume around the Halloween hay maze during "HelloWeeOnes," a Trick-or-Treat walk and costume contest event with exhibitor booths set up in the parking lot of the Alexandria Village Green shopping center Sunday, Oct. 18.
Campbell County has an array of Halloween events suited to fit the littlest and biggest monsters. • In Alexandria, leave the littlest children at home for the city’s annual Haunted Walk in the Park around the Alexandria Community Park’s lake (3925 Alexandria Drive), from dusk to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. Area high school students make many of the scenes along the trail and provide most of the ghastly frights. Admission is $1 or two canned goods. For something you can bring the younger ghosts and goblins to, try the Halloween Family Fun Fest at the Alexandria Shopping Center with “ghoulish games, freaky fun and frightening food” from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25. There will be a donation of $3 per person for all the
games including an inflatable bounce house and the video game Guitar Hero. There will be a costume contest. The event will support the Campbell County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10’s Christmas Cops ‘N Kids shopping program and The Southern Campbell County Coalition for Drug Free Kids. • In Fort Thomas, the Fort Thomas Recreation Department is offering an alternative Halloween event suited for young children, or the easily scared. The Fort Thomas Jack-O-Lantern Walk and Contest featuring a walk through Tower Park’s nature trail will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29. The walk features more than 1,000 luminaries and hundreds of Jack-O-Lanterns carved by residents. For information call 781-1700 or visit www.ftthomas.org and click
