Cost for the event is $10/person. The spooky meter will be low from 4:30 – 7 p.m. for families with young children looking to enjoy a fun hayride around the fields of Tangerini’s Farm. For the second year, children from Clyde F. Brown Elementary will be submitting scarecrows built by each classroom and will be raffled off at the Hayride. Refreshments will be available for purchase. Tickets will be on sale at Tangerini’s after the first of October. For additional information on ticket sales, please check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MERITmil. All ticket sales are final. There are no rain dates, and tickets typically sell out.
