Night of the Spooks

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year,and the Highland Village is joining in the fun with a "Night of the Spooks" which will take place at the Highland Village in Iona from October 21st to 23rd. The evening will include a candlelight guided tour which will wind throught 11 historic buildings on the site. There will be skits, of approximately 5 minutes in length, taking place in 7 of the buildings and the tour will end at the tuning room where visitors will be entertained with fiddle music and treats. One of treats served will be the traditional Gaelic Halloween dish "Fuarag", made of whipped cream and toasted oats. This is served up in a Communal bowl and usually has a ring and coin hidden deep within. The lucky person who finds the ring will be the first to marry and the person who finds the coin will become rich, or so the tradition goes. The evening events will run from 7-9pm and the admission is $12.00 for adults, $5.00 for children and $28.00 for families. Call soon to register as Saturday's event is already sold out. To register call 1-902-725-2272, and have a gouling good time.
