~ ## Colorado Springs parks department plans fall festivals, Halloween events
The Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department is offering more than a dozen fall events, including historic demonstrations, fossil activities, Halloween celebrations and recreation programs.
"Whether families are returning to a favorite tradition or residents are discovering a new program close to home, these events show the many ways our parks, community centers and cultural sites help people connect," said PRCS Director Skyler Rorabaugh.
Outdoor events begin Oct. 3 with a History Stroll, a one-mile tour exploring how Colorado Springs has marked time. The tour is also scheduled for Oct. 10 and 24. That day, Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site will host its Harvest Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring wagon rides, music, cider-making demonstrations, games and pumpkins for $6.

Other ranch events include Fall Homeschool Day on Oct. 28, open to all families, and "Everything But the Oink" on Nov. 7, which explores historic ranching and how families used every part of a hog.
Halloween activities include a free costume exchange at Deerfield Hills Community Center on Oct. 9; a Monster Mash for children ages 3 to 5 at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum on Oct. 22; and a Garden of the Gods Trunk-or-Treat on Oct. 25. The museum will also host Halloween History Detectives on Oct. 31.
Community celebrations include Hillside Community Center's Halloween House Party on Oct. 30 and Westside Community Center's Trunk-or-Treat on Oct. 31. Both are free.
Westside Community Center will offer evening pickleball Oct. 14 and Glow Pickleball Oct. 28. Participants are asked to bring candy for the center's Trunk-or-Treat.
