Halloween in Laramie our Ghoulish Hauntings

Halloween is approaching again in Laramie so the little ghouls will be out wanting their candy. There are a lot of fun Halloween activities planned at the Territorial Prison, Downtown, and on the UW Campus, as well as all over town. I remember going out to get as much candy as possible and then changing costumes and going out again so nobody would recognize me. Here are a few Laramie Halloween events you should get ready for:
