There’s lots of family Halloween fun scheduled around the county.

For Adults, there will be Appetizers, and surf & turf dinner with a no-host bar. There will be special children’s plates and vegetarian entrée. Activities include costume contest, raffles, live auction, children's art silent auction, dancing, and door prizes. Tickets can be purchased at Realty World in Jackson or call 257-0622. Also on Saturday, the Jackson Haunted History tour of Jackson Cemetery starts at 6:30 pm at Fantossi Marble Works across from the cemetery entrance on Church Street in Jackson. On the tour, tales of murder, poisoning, and the Wells Fargo Bank Stage coach shoot-out will be recreated by Argonaut High School Drama students. The price of the Tour is $5.00 and you should bring a flashlight.  Because of the nature of the re-enactments, this may be too scary of younger children
