Submitted by paula on Fri, 10/02/2020 - 8:10pm

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is hosting their fourth annual “Fright at the Fairgrounds” every Friday and Saturday night through the month of October starting Friday October 2.

Fright at the Fairgrounds happens at the Douglas County Fairgrounds located off Pinenut Road in Gardnerville. Tickets are $5.00 for kids and $10.00 for adults.

DCSO will run two operation times. The first is from 3:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. for smaller kids (not so scary) and the second is the main event from 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. (full-scare). Halloween Night has extended full-scare hours, running from 6:00 p.m.-11:30 p.m.

This attraction is operated by DCSO deputies and civilian volunteers who donate their time planning, building, decorating and operating the event. This event has been so popular in past years that this year a second maze was added as a new feature!

Proceeds from the event go to assist DCSO Honor Guard and other Special Programs.

Face coverings are required for entry

Please-no costumes
