Looking for a family friendly Halloween option?

Flickering pumpkins will fill Russ Nature Reserve in Beavercreek Oct. 26 and 27 when Greene County Parks & Trails holds their second annual Pumpkin Glow.

Halloween music will fill the air and hundreds of carved pumpkins will light up the woods. Funny-faced pumpkins will be on display, and a slingshot will propel pumpkins into the air.

Families are encouraged to come in Halloween costumes as they trick-or-treat their way through the pumpkin glow display.

The first 100 kids to arrive will receive a free pumpkin sling bag each night.

The Glen Helen Raptor Center will have a program featuring live owls on Oct. 26 and Rock On Ice, an ice carving company, will hold pumpkin carving demonstrations Oct. 27.
