Conner Prairie Headless Horseman

On Thursday night the girls and I went over to Conner Prairie for their Headless Horseman hayride and festival. It was supposed to rain, but we went anyway and lucked out with a very uncrowded evening. We went on the hayride first, since it was 6:00 when we got there and I didn't want them to go in the dark - it would likely wig them out and ruin the rest of the evening. Good call me - in the daylight they had a great time. We couldn't take flash photography while on the ride b/c it would spook the horses...but trust me, it was cool. The hayride goes through the woods and ghouls and goblins jump out from behind the trees to scare you. The pioneer town was decorated in spooky fashion. And the guest of honor was a headless rider on a white horse who gallops alongside the wagon and attempted to cut off our heads. Very very cool. After the hayride we saw a puppet show, ate smores, played around in a music tent, and grabbed some cider and carmel apples before heading home. Fun evening.
