Greetings!

There are a lot of spooky characters in our past and this year they're coming back!
You'll find them haunting the town during Halloween weekend, walking the streets, telling their tales and perhaps even popping out of the woods during the haunted hayride. If you love all things Halloween, you won't want to miss A Ghostly Affair. From trick-or-treating and a masquerade dance to cemetery tours and a haunted mansion, Leadville is pulling out of the stops for a good cause: the events are fundraisers for local non-profit organizations.

Be sure to stop by the Leadville Lake County Visitors Center at 809 Harrison Avenue
when you're in town. You'll find maps, brochures and friendly folks to answer your
questions. You can stay in touch by following us on Facebook, Twitter and the blog,
too.
