Halloween Weekend Highlights

Whether you're in favor of permanently changing Halloween to the last Saturday of October or not, it is certainly a situation to enjoy this weekend. Plenty of fun Halloween events continue in OKC. Here are just a few:

• The kids can trick or treat at Haunt the Zoo
• The Harn Homestead has a family night with games, hayrides and more.
• Check out haunted houses in Oklahoma City, including Frontier City and down in Bricktown.
• Midwest City has trick or treating at Joe B. Barnes Regional Park on Saturday afternoon.
• Remington Park will have costume contests for "Halloween at the Park."
• And check out the many metro pumpkin patches for fall family fun.

Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Ballet presents "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" at the Civic Center Music Hall Friday and Saturday. Perfect for the season, it's the Oklahoma premiere of choreographer Alan Hineline's stage adaptation based on Washington Irving's spooky tale.

In sports, the Thunder plays the 2nd game of the regular season on Friday night. After starting 1-0 with a home win Wednesday, they'll try to do it again on the road at Detroit. The Sooners are in Norman Saturday to take on Kansas State, and the Cowboys have a very big game in Stillwater against Texas.

Riverwind Casino has a couple of headline shows this weekend. It's Dionne Warwick on Friday night and Tracy Lawrence for Halloween. Get venue and ticket information here on About.com OKC.
