CULLMAN — Fall is in full swing, and by mid-October many Cullmanites begin wondering when and where the next seasonal festival will be.
The finale to the autumnal event onslaught on October 31 is Halloween for most and Reformation Day for others. Until then, Cullman is hosting a variety of activities including a haunted house, fall festivals, and a Trunk-or-Treat.
Haunted House
Back for another year, the Boogieman’s Barn at Steele Orchard is the area's major spooky attraction and will be open through the month of October. The Cemetery of Horror, which had been seeing attendance drop, will not be in operation this year.
Steele Orchard is located at 1695 County Road 1141, Cullman, AL 35057. For more information call 256-734-5249 or e-mail SteeleOrchard@gmail.com. Follow Steele Orchard on Facebook and Boogiemans_Barn2015 on Instagram.
