Advance Ticket Sales Announced for 6th Annual Haunted Train and Hay Ride

The 6th Annual Haunted Train and Hay Ride, co-sponsored by the Norfolk Community League and Norfolk Lions Club, announces their advance ticket sales dates and times. Due to the popularity of this event, a limited number of advance tickets will be sold this year. Last year a record number of riders forced the early closure of the parking lots. In order to accommodate the anticipated riders this year, we are selling tickets in advance.

Ticket sale dates and times are Weds. September 19 and Thursday, September 20th from 3 to 5pm and 7 to 9 pm at the Norfolk Public Library Community Room. Tickets are $5 each , non refundable and entitle the bearer to one ride. The Train Ride is geared towards children ages 5 and up. As it gets darker, the ride gets scarier! The proceeds from this year's Train and Hay Ride will go to Norfolk Food Pantry and to the upgrade of Norfolk Softball field.

The 6th Annual Haunted Train and Hay Ride will take place on Saturday, October 13th with a rain date of Saturday, October 27th. Through the generosity of the Holmes Family, it will be held at the Holmes Fields on Myrtle Street. Gates will be open from 4pm until 7:30pm. In order to enter the parking lot, you must have a ticket. No tickets will be available at the gate.

Since its inception, the Haunted Train and Hay Ride has become a fall tradition in Norfolk. In the past, the proceeds have benefited Stony Brook, The Grange, Norfolk Recreation's Summer Concert Series, Norfolk Walkways, Santa Foundation, Norfolk Public Library's Books on CD Collection, and Norfolk D.A.R.E. program.

Based on the past ridership, we expect this event to sell out. Plan to get your tickets so that you do not miss out on the thrills and chills of the Haunted Train and Hay Rides!
