Just call it “Halloweekend.”
Because Halloween falls midweek this year, much of the North Olympic Peninsula got a head start on headlessness and other spookiness Friday and Saturday.
More activities are planned today.
And on Halloween — which is Wednesday — there will be more events — plus trick-or-treating in downtown Port Angeles, Sequim and Port Townsend.
(See related story today, “Eat, drink and be scary: Downtown trick-or-treat events set Wednesday”)
Today’s events include:
■ Port Angeles: A Camp Fire Halloween Party and open house will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. today.
The event will be held at the Camp Fire Clubhouse, 618 E. Fourth St.
Activities include ghoulish good times, games, treats and pumpkin decoration.
For more information, phone 360-457-8442.
■ Carlsborg: The Sequim Pumpkin Patch offers pumpkins, horseback rides, mazes and a catapult.
The business on U.S. Highway 101 at Kitchen-Dick Road is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Halloween, which is Wednesday.
The cornfield maze is $5 for youths ages 12 and younger, $10 for ages 13 and older.
For $5, horseback rides are available, or people can use a catapult to send pumpkins flying for a chance at a $100 prize. There also is a straw maze that is $5 for youths and free for adults.
For more information, phone at 360-461-0940.
■ Sequim: The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe will host the Jamestown Family Jaunt and Haunt from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Jamestown Family Health Center, 808 N. Fifth Ave.
The event, co-sponsored by Olympic Medical Center, is billed as a “free family-friendly wellness walk and fair.”
Costumed participants will take a noncompetitive 1-mile walk around OMC’s Sequim campus.
The first 250 costumed children to attend will receive a free cooler lunch bag.
■ Sequim: Dungeness Community Church will host a “Trunk R. Treat” at 12:30 p.m. today for costumed trick-or-treaters.
Cars will be decorated, and candy will be available for the youngsters at the church, 45 Eberle Lane.

■ Forks: A free children’s Halloween party with games, fun and food will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. today at Sunshine and Rainbows Child Development Center, 945 S. Forks Ave.
Ghoulish games and “frightening food” are planned by Forks High School senior Sara Lester, who is planning the party as her senior project.
