Spooktacular Halloween Haunts Near The Crest
Halloween is always a thrilling time near The Crest, with scary events and creepy outdoor activities unfolding under the night sky. But this year’s celebration will be even more special, because a blue moon will illuminate the sky on the evening of October 31. According to EarthSky, every month has a full moon, but because the lunar cycle and the calendar year aren’t perfectly synched, we get a second full moon, known as a blue moon, every two and a half years. So have yourself a spooktacular Halloween, and don’t let the werewolves bite.
