Creepy Fairgrounds Evening Halloween Walk and Costume Party

The massive grounds of the Illinois State Fair are open all year and are (somewhat) well-lit for an after-dark hike. But like all closed amusement parks...the absence of people, and at night, make it a somewhat creepy location...all the more fun for a walk the night before Halloween!
Costumes, masks, even just a silly hat are encouraged but not required on this hike, and the quality will not be judged...much.
We'll meet at 5:30 at Happy Hollow, (plenty of parking) which is just inside the main gate on your left at the bottom of the hill. We'll have a 30 minute Happy Hour tailgate party to start the evening. I'll have some libations available, feel free to bring a beverage. We'll start walking at 6:00, meandering down deserted streets, trekking through the shadowy barns, past abandoned displays, and around the various historical buildings of the fair. Spooks and the ghosts of all of the fair animals that have met their maker during the fair may be haunting our path. I've laid out a 3 mile route, which should be about right for an evening walk. Be sure to bring a small flashlight, as some parts of the hike are not well lit. Your cellphone light will probably be sufficient. Be warned....There are no open restrooms at the fairgrounds.
