Baumholder kicks off Halloween fun with haunted house

To get people in the mood for Halloween, U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder kicks off the celebration today with a haunted house in the basement of the Rheinlander Community Club.  The haunted house runs from 7 to 9 p.m. today through Sunday.

This attraction is geared for adults, and parental discretion is recommended for children.

Shooters holds a costume contest Saturday, and the annual Monster Mash 5-kilometer run kicks off Halloween day at 9 a.m. Wednesday beginning at the Hall of Champions. Participants are encouraged to run in costume.

The annual trunk-or-treat takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday in the parking lot of the Rheinlander Community Club. Community members are invited to set up their “candy trunks” at the Rheinlander parking lot for the children to gather their goodies.

Traditional house-to-house trick-or-treating will also be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Children may participate in either of these events or both.

Strikers will close out Halloween with costume bowling and a costume contest at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
