Moorabool’s scariest scavengers are being invited to join the hunt on October 28 during Moorafun’s Halloween Fun Fest.

The event will be centred around Rotary Park in Bacchus Marsh and will begin with a scavenger hunt around the town centre from 9am.

The scavenger hunt theme is Bacchus Marsh History, and it is recommended scavengers get hunting no later than 3pm to be finished by 5pm.

Prizes will be awarded for best individual and team costume, fastest time, most points and more.

Back at the park there’ll also be a boutique pets and kids market from 10am with a food court and an animal farm and later on a Halloween family friendly movie.

Moorafun marketing manager Dotty Hazel said it will be fun dressing up in costumes and seeing everyone come out and enjoy their local community.

“Halloween Fun Fest is a fun way to learn a bit about Bacchus Marsh’s History,” she said.

“The scavenger hunt is the type of event where everyone can take part without large crowds and at their own pace. Get your friends together or get the family out and about, off those Xboxes and Playstations.

“This is the first Halloween event we have run, and would love to make this an annual event for the community.”

Scavenger hunt entry is $10 per person, $50 for a group of six, or free for children under nine.

Moorafun is also keen to hear from businesses looking to advertise before the movie screening.
