Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is a staple of fall, particularly as we consider Halloween. A carving kit and your imagination are all that are needed to create your favorite design. Don’t forget a candle to light up your pumpkin each evening.

“Carving pumpkins,” said freshman Jeremiah Costain, “it’s something fun to do in October”.

Make a visit to Oglebayfest and the Ohio County Country Fair

From Oct. 4-6, Oglebayfest makes its return for its 47th year. This outdoor festival features crafts, treats and a great chance to see friends. The Ohio Country Fair takes place the same three days and features livestock and baked goods, among other items — some of which are handled by students here at Wheeling Park High School.

Visit a haunted house

Haunted houses can be a thrilling evening activity this fall — particularly as we prepare for Halloween. Get a group of friends together for a fun night out. In our area, there are multiple options, such as Wells Township, Infernum in Terra, and Dungeon of Horrors.

Watch a scary movie

Even though this is an indoor activity, there’s nothing better than sitting down with your popcorn and your favorite scary movie. Getting your friends together for a horror movie marathon is a great way to pass time as it gets colder outside.

“I love scary movies,” said senior Trinity Kimmins. “It sets the tone for the rest of the season”.
