Old-Fashioned Halloween Open House at the Harness Racing Museum

Goshen, NY — Bring the kids to the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, 240 Main St., Goshen, N.Y., on Saturday (Oct. 30) from 10:30 a.m.–Noon 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 pumpkin with a headless horseman, spider mummy, spooky horse head 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!

Enjoy lots of other craft fun by making ghost wind socks, creepy spiders, a Halloween horseshoe beaded necklace, witch horse magnet and more! Play pumpkin bowling and bat toss. There will be skeleton toy horses while supplies last.

The spooky Halloween adventure is topped off with a heart-pounding ride on our Harness Racing Simulator.

Children are encouraged to come in costumes of all kinds. The first 40 children pay $10 and receive a pumpkin to decorate. Bring your own pumpkin; we will provide the spooky pumpkin decorations. Parents are free. Reservations are not accepted. All supplies are limited.

Sweet treats sponsored by ShopRite of Chester. Pumpkins provided by Manza Farms of Montgomery.

Programs are made possible with support from the Agriculture & New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund.
