CUSHING, Maine — Georges River Land Trust will sponsor a Halloween “Spooktacular” event at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27. Guests will be treated to dinner, dancing, ghost stories in the moonlight, tricks and treats. Tickets are $40 Land Trust members, $45 others. Tickets must be purchased in advance at www.grlt.org/revelryevents.html or by calling 207-594-5166. The event will benefit the land trust.

The party will be hosted by Bob and Karin Weisert at their home on the shore of the Georges River in Cushing. Views before dark include a property conserved by the Land Trust where herons roost, and views after dark are only for the strong of heart. A secret tour will give guests that special “hallow-eened” experience. Costumes are encouraged, and prizes will be awarded. Flashlights are a good idea.
