Coming soon: Harvest Hoedown at Easton Sports Complex

NEWBERRY – Easton Newberry Sports Complex is holding its first Harvest Hoedown, a family-friendly festival with music and Halloween-theme activities, on Saturday, Oct. 22.

Hay rides, face painting and archery are some of the activities offered with the purchase of a $15 ticket.

Tim Monday, Easton Foundations staff member, said the ticket will cost an extra $5 at the entrance gate. The gates open at 3 p.m. and the concert will start at 5 p.m. and last until 11. After 6 p.m., 6 year olds and under receive free admission.

Trenton country artist Bryce Carlisle will be performing along with Root Redemption, a blues band from Gainesville. Monday said attendees should bring their own chairs and blankets, since the concert will be outside the building.

The event took around two months to plan, Monday said, and the staff is looking forward to not only hosting the fall event, but also the opportunity for people to become familiar with the two-year-old Easton Sports Complex.

Along with trick or treating and a haunted trail for kids, the center, which is known for its archery and sports, will offer these activities during the event.  “We want to see a bow in every kid’s hand,” Monday said.

Easton is located in Newberry at 24880 NW 16th Avenue. For additional information about the event or about the Easton Newberry Sports Complex, call 352-472-2388
