The Superior Express -

Saturday, October 29, Jewell’s Lake Emerson hosts its first ever Aisle of Frights. The event is family-friendly and Halloween-themed. Participants will find zombies and ghosts lurking along the walking trail that meanders around Lake Emerson.

Visitors can ride a trailer or walk the trail and discover who or what is out haunting. To attend, enter the Lake Emerson area off of Highway 14 on the west side of Jewell. Parking is in the lot south of the shelter house. From there, you can walk or ride a wagon to the entrance of the Aisle of Frights.

The Aisle of Frights opens at 6 p.m., for those looking for a wagon ride or pleasant evening stroll. This “less scary” part of the evening will last until 7:30 p.m. Then the bewitching hours – 8 to 10 p.m. What will the dark hide? Remember “only the shadow knows!”

This new event, organized by Annette Saint, is sponsored by the Jewell Chamber of Commerce and the Guaranty State Bank of Jewell. Saint, who has “very fond memories trick-or-treating as a child,” has created Halloween events in the Jewell Community Center in the past. 

She also worked last year with the Smokey Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Salina as they put on a Halloween event.  But, the Aisle of Frights will be the first for Lake Emerson.

Aisle of Frights will be held at Lake Emerson in Jewell on Saturday, Oct. 29. There will be two sessions – the early one from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and the later one from 8 to 10 p.m. Come and enjoy a bit of spookiness.
