Sleepyhollow/Tarrytown NY Halloween

[Tiggeroo]

They have an annual halloween celebration revolving around The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Has anybody ever been. I"ve wanted to do this for years. Is it worth the trip. Is it a nice area to do some other fall things?

It's a very pretty place - lots of leaves, country, pumpkins and apple orchards. I used to live near there as a child. When I was in my teens we used to go to the house of Sleepy Hollows and never saw any activity. Now with Johnny Depp making Icabard Crane a sex god, there's a lot more celebration than when I was a kid.

It's a nice ride, too.

That's what I was hoping. A nice long weekend trip, maybe go to an apple orchard or pick a pumpkin, drink hot cider, etc. I'm thinking if we want to go we need to book a room pretty soon. It sounds like it's a popular weekend.

I wouldn't go. But that's because that story so frightened me as a child.

I lived close enough as a child that I was afraid I'd see the head laying around somewhere. And I'm sure I'd never be able to cross another bridge after dark again!
