Returning for its 22nd run, the Jack-O-Lantern Jaunt/Halloween Haunt has grown to be the communities premier family event of the season. Organizers have expanded the attactions in the park over the years, opting for decorations that are suitable for even the youngest visitors.
Since its inception, the Jaunt has kept its admission prices low as to encourage large families to attend. Even with these low prices, the Jaunt has donated thousands of dollars to local charities. This year proceeds will go to the Mukwonago Flex Farm Hydroponics Tower project. The hydroponic growing system, developed by Wisconsin company Fork Farm has already been used to grow multiple crops of fresh salad greens and basil used for lunches. Located in the service area of Mukwonago High School, the system will allow food to be produced "from seed to plate" and will provide students with learning opportunities through the school year.
For 2 nights, the paths of the park will be lit up by hundreds of carved pumpkins. Local businesses, groups, organizations and individuals supply the jack-o-lanterns and create the displays. Anyone is welcome to bring carved pumpkins on October 18 from
Noon to 5 p.m. Tea lights will be provided but everyone is asked to set up their own display. If you wish to keep your pumpkin display, please pick it up at 9:30 P.M. SHARP!!
The Jaunt/Haunt will proceed rain or shine, so dress accordingly.
