WHAT:
Stew Leonard’s annual Halloween Hayride Spooktacular is a 15-minute family-friendly hayride featuring 25 different vignettes, ranging from scenes of popular movie and television characters, to traditional holiday settings, which illuminate to a choreographed musical light show. The children receive their "treat" of candy after the ride.

WHO:
Stew Leonard’s is known as "The Disneyland of Dairy Stores" for their in-store entertainment, especially around the holidays. For Halloween:

• Pumpkin-themed food can be found in every department, such as pumpkin soup and pumpkin-flavored soft ice cream, to pumpkin spiced coffee and cookies.
