Ghosts and Ghouls and ‘Rines, Oh My

The Halloween/Homecoming edition of Patch's Get Out weekend planner.

1. Welcome Home, Wolverines

When/Where: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at Watkins Mill High School.

Why Go: It’s homecoming at last for Watkins Mill High School as the 4-4 Wolverines take to the gridiron against the Magruder Colonels. Wins in Watkins Mill’s last two games will give these ‘Rines the school’s first winning season in a decade. Speaking of making history, a couple dozen alums from the Class of ’91 will be among the screaming throng, part of their weekend-long celebration of the 20th anniversary as Watkins Mill’s very first graduating class.

When/Where: The Montgomery Village Foundation’s Halloween Spooktacular, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Lake Marion Community Center.

Why Go: Scores of princesses, witches and wizards—ages 3 to 9—will be strutting their Halloween stuff in the annual costume parade and contest. This year, there’ll also be a fortuneteller, a “happy hauntings trail” and more.

3. One Last Lemon Bar, Tomato and Head of Lettuce

Why Go: The inaugural five-month run of the Montgomery Village Farmers Market has finally reached its end. So Saturday is your last chance to stock up on all the fresh-from-the-farm goodies—or just chow down right there on the spot. Saturday's market will include a handful of special touches to send the market into hibernation in style. Live music from 9:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. by Sax-Appeal, followed by an hour-long cooking demo.

Pricing: Entry is free. Limited parking at Christ the Servant. Additional parking at the Montgomery Village Professional Center.

4. Find Your Groove on All Hallow’s Eve

Pricing: Free.
