Waretown Haunted Hayride Fundraiser Returns Oct. 18

WARETOWN, NJ — Waretown's annual Haunted Hayride frightens for a good cause. All proceeds benefit the Waretown Volunteer Fire Co. and the Township of Ocean Founder's Day events.

The hayrides take place from 7-10 p.m. Oct. 18 and 18 at Waretown Lake (182 Wells Mills Rd.). Patrons will participate in a 20-minute pulled hayride around the "haunted" Waretown Lake.

Along the way, groups who have entered a skit contest will try to scare you and earn your vote.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. You can also skip the line with an express ghost pass for $25.

If you'd like to volunteer, contact Township of Ocean Recreation Director Jeanne Broadbent at recreation@twpoceannj.gov.
