<p>This Halloween you can dress up in a costume, act silly,  laugh out-loud and enjoy great food in our hilarious interactive <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/mystery.html">Murder Mystery Dinner </a>offered Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 8:00 pm.  Let&#8217;s get excited about the idea of having fun,  like we did when we were young!   I remember Halloween as a night filled with friends, fun and acting silly. One of my fondest halloween memories is when we were living in a remote mining town in Indonesia  where Halloween was unheard of.  My mother wanted my brother and I to have fun, and she knew I enjoyed trick or treating,  somehow my mom informed the towns people of this American tradition and that night in the rain, wearing my witch costume that my mom had dyed black with hair dye , I left a trial of black bubbles where ever I went trick or treating, laughing and having a great time.</p>
<p>This Halloween get your family and friends together and make it a MN weekend getaway at our unusual bed and breakfast inn with <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/rm-william.html">17 guestrooms</a>, several of which features a double whirlpool tub and fireplace.  Save on lodging with our <a href="http://www.spicercastle.com/specials.html">$99 last minute deal </a>that includes afternoon tea, one nights lodging (excluding John&#8217;s  Cottage or Raymond&#8217;s Cabin) and a four-course breakfast.  Sit by the bonfire telling tales and making s&#8217;mores.</p>
<p>Things to do in our area: visit our local winery, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.glacialridgewinery.com/">Glacial Ridge Winery</a></span>, dress in a costume, go for a haunted hayride, sample wines and have fun at the <a href="http://www.glacialridgewinery.com/id23.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wicked Party</span> </a>on Friday, October 30th.
