Goshen, NY – Bring the kids to the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, 240 Main Street, Goshen, New York on Saturday, October 26, from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. for a fun-filled old-fashioned Halloween celebration and a walk through our spooky stable. Participate in creepy crafts, play hauntingly fun games and enjoy sweet treats. Decorate a headless horseman, spider mummy or ghostly monster pumpkin to frighten off those Halloween spirits and make a bat-styled candy box filled with sweet treats.  Pumpkins are limited and are first come, first served, so don’t be late! There will be a spooky skeletal horse toy for every child and refreshments for the entire family.

Harness Racing Hall of Fame will host an Halloween Open House on Saturday October 26. Hall of Fame photo

The spooky Halloween adventure is topped off with a heart-pounding ride on our 3-D Harness Racing Simulator. Our mascot, Hall of Fame Harry will be here to pose for pictures with young gargoyles, ghosts, witches, pirates, super heroes and such.  Children are encouraged to come in costumes of all kinds. The first 40 children pay $5 and receive a pumpkin to decorate. Bring your own pumpkin and for $3 we will provide the spooky pumpkin decorations. Parents are free. Reservations are not accepted.
