The Haunted Coal Mine Comes to Bradley Farms

Monsters, creepy sights, and delicious food are all a part of the Bradley Farm’s Haunted House in Herndon. This year’s theme, “the Haunted Coal Mine” will lead fear seekers in to the damp darkness of the coal mine with only the light from a lantern to guide them.

For the even younger crowd, there’s a non-scary version available on Saturday afternoon from 1-5 p.m. The milder version will include trick-or-treating inside the haunted house for children 10 and under. Local vendors have provided many giveaways for the “monsters” to hand out to the children along the haunt.

There will also be outdoor entertainment such as musical acts, dancers, and magicians. Two highlights in the entertainment lineup include illusionist Mario Orsini and the Franklin Project.

Papa John’s and Moe’s Southwest Gril will be selling food. For those, who want to stay warm, caramel apples and hot cider will also be available for purchase.

For children 10 and under, there’s a non-scary version available on Saturday afternoon from 1-5 p.m, which will include trick-or-treating inside the haunted house where ‘monsters’ will hand out treats to children.

Tickets are $5.00.

For the past nine years, the community fundraising event is held to raise money for Herndon-Reston Fish, which brings emergency help to people in need in the Herndon community, according to the event press release.

FISH responds to assistance requests for rent, utilities, prescriptions, medical items, and other emergency needs. Last year’s event raised $10,000.

The release also stated that those planning to attend should arrive early.
