Fright Night Coming to Hillsdale Saturday

Cub Scout Packs 81 and 331 of Hillsdale are hosting their annual Fright Night in Beechwood Park Saturday.

The event will feature scary and non-scary paths to cater to younger children, according to Cubmaster Jacqui Riordan.

The non-scary path will have scouts in superhero, Harry Potter, Star Wars and other kid-friendly costumes. The scary path will have some gorier themes with costumed scouts and others popping out to surprise guests, Riordan said.

"We transform the park, and within 24 hours you would have no idea that 1,000 people had been through there," Riordan said.

There will also be hot dogs, cotton candy and popcorn available.

Fright Night is the main fundraiser for the Hillsdale Cub Scouts. Money raised goes to support the activities and community service the scouts participate in each year.

"The money comes back to the community and it goes directly to the programs that we do for the cub scouts," Riordan said.

Fright Night will take place in Beechwood Park from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $5.
