Scare Up Fun In The Woods of Werner Boyce

The woods of Werner Boyce Salt Springs State Park in Port Richey are about to get frightening.

Halloween in the Woods, the annual celebration presented by the Salt Springs Alliance, summons unnatural things to the park this Friday and Saturday night.

The 6^th annual event raises scares to amuse those brave enough to enter the haunted trail.

You’ll find a crash site with startling sights and sounds. And a group of cannibals looking for dinner guests. And more scenes crafted by volunteers.

The haunted trail is suggested for adults and older children and teenagers.

There’s also fun for young children available with a kiddie trail, pirate ship, planned hayride and games.

Members of the Salt Springs Alliance, the nonprofit Citizens Support Organization for Werner Boyce, and volunteers have begun setting up scary scenes and other amusements.

The proceeds from the Halloween event will go to the organization, which raises awareness and donations for the park, Pasco's last large tract of Gulf Coast wilderness.

Flip through our photos, see some of the setup and meet a few scaremasters.  Then take a trip to the park Friday and Saturday. You might get a fright.
