Due to a barrage of rain across the Ozarks, the Branson Parks & Recreation Department is changing up its schedule of Halloween activities.

The planned Halloween Hayride for Tuesday was canceled; however, it has been extended through the rest of the week, according to a news release from the city of Branson.

“We didn’t want anyone to miss out on these fun events because of the weather, so we are extending them through Saturday as well as adding more time slots,” said Cindy Shook, director of Branson Parks & Recreation, in a news release.

The Halloween Hayride is designed for families and children 12 and under. The hayride runs from 5:30-7 p.m. each night and 2:30-7 p.m. on Saturday. All participants will enjoy a hayride through the woods, a craft, fall-themed games and a s’more by the campfire.
