After a hiatus, the Halloween carnival will return to Dolores Friday.

The Dolores Middle School/High School Parent Teacher Organization is hosting the carnival for all ages Friday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. in the courtyard of the Dolores School District Office, 100 N. 6th St.

The senior class is putting on a haunted house in the scary board room. There will also be a less frightening haunted house for the little ones, said Heather Pierce.

Chili, cider, hot chocolate and baked goods will be available for sale. Participants are asked to bring trick-or-treat bags.

Teddy Bear preschool and other student organizations will have booths too, Pierce said.

Pierce plans to run a Fear Factor booth, designed to be gross. "I will make them eat really gross stuff," she said.

Imagine sardines, buttermilk with cottage cheese and the like.

The carnival will include a bean bag toss, a fortune teller, a fishing booth and more.

Booths are anywhere between 25 cents to $1. Money goes to the secondary PTO and classes that participate, Pierce said.

Also Halloween night, the Dolores Food Market will display jack-o'-lanterns. Owner Taz Vass says there will be about 180 pumpkins. Vass donates the pumpkins, which students carve and then display in front of the store.
