The National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech
University will host an old-fashioned Harvest Festival from 4 to 7 p.m.,
Friday, Oct. 26, during the 6th annual Heritage Halloween event. Visitors of
all ages can take part free of charge.
Trick-or-Treaters can fill their bags with period-correct
treats as they visit several of the historic structures at the NRHC. Also
offered are $1 hayrides through the park, a cakewalk at the McLaughlin Arbor,
fall crafts in the 6666 Barn and more.
"Heritage Halloween is an opportunity for children to
enjoy the holiday in a safe and educational way," said event coordinator and
Manager of Education Emily Wilkinson Arellano. "As children in costumes visit
the historic buildings, their treats will be period-correct for each house. For
example, at the 1909 Barton House, volunteers will be handing out Hershey's
Kisses, which were developed in 1906. At the 1886 Las Escarbadas division of
the XIT Ranch, Trick or Treaters will receive Tootsie Rolls, which were
developed in 1896."
Cogdells Store will be open with Halloween decorations,
gifts and fall merchandise.
Heritage Halloween is free to the public, but
donations are welcome at the door.
