Several Halloween events planned in El Dorado Springs

Several events on the last Tuesday or Wednesday of October in El Dorado Springs promise to scare, amuse, mystify -- or all of the above.

The FFA Spook House will open at 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 30, and 31 and remain open until "folks can't stand to be scared anymore," the release said. Those 10 and older will be admitted for $5.

The fourth annual Spring City Revitalization Group Spooktacular starts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31, in the park.
