Saturday, October 16, features Fright Night, a free and creepy drive-in movie experience with an interactive cast to shake things up. This event will take place at dusk (about 7:30 p.m.) in the parking lot of the Charlie Maier Lodge, 2806 Roosevelt Highway, Hamlin.
On Saturday, October 23, the Run for Your Life 5K will have runners following a track through Hamlin Town Park.What makes this 5K a little different and spooky is that there will also be hungry zombies along the way.

Finally, on Saturday, October 30, Hamlin Town Park will once again host the successful Haunted Highway, a drive-through Halloween event featuring displays and surprises. The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. and the price for each car will be $10. The entrance for this event will be at 1052 Hamlin Center Road, from the westbound lane only.
The town is looking for volunteers to help with most of these events, especially for the Haunted Highway. Individuals or teams of friends can build Halloween-themed displays to compete for a $100 prize and the Golden Pumpkin Award sponsored by RE/MAX Titanium. Volunteers will also be needed for the displays created by the Hamlin Recreation Department.
