October 24, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Nick Nerbonne, Media/Digital/Industry Relations Director at Pure Michigan for this week's Pure Michigan Moment. As Halloween approaches, Michigan is fully embracing the spooky season with a variety of attractions and events catering to both thrill-seekers and families. The rise of agritourism has led to popular activities such as haunted forests, corn mazes, and intricate haunted houses. For instance, Crystal Mountain hosts a haunted forest featuring surprises like a headless horseman and horror film characters. Frankenmuth’s Scarecrow Fest offers family-friendly activities, including a pumpkin catapult and trick-or-treating, with local businesses creating scarecrows to enhance the festive atmosphere. Wired’s Orchards presents a “Night of Terrors” experience, featuring a haunted barn and hayrides, contributing to the local economy through seasonal jobs.
