1. Emma Crawford Coffin Races and Festival

When: Noon Saturday

Where: Manitou Avenue, Manitou Springs

Price: Free; 685-5089, 685-1454, emmacrawfordfestival.com

Whether Emma Crawford still haunts Red Mountain today, she has marked her territory in Manitou Springs. Her story and name have inspired the Emma Crawford Coffin Races and Festival, which returns for its 25th anniversary this weekend. Throughout the day, 50 teams will barrel down Manitou Avenue in decorated coffins. Each team has four runners to push the coffin and one “Emma” who rides inside to the finish, perhaps loosely resembling what it looked like when, in 1929, Emma Crawford’s coffin came racing down the side of Red Mountain.

2. Jack-O-Lantern Trail

When: 5:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday

Where: Fountain Creek Nature Center, 320 Peppergrass Lane, Fountain

Price: $4 for members, $5 for nonmembers, 520-6745

There’s not much scary about the sight of hundreds of lit-up carved pumpkins. It’s more likely to make you smile.

If you want your own Halloween creation to be included in the Jack-o-Lantern Trail, the Fountain Creek Nature Center will host a pumpkin carving party from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. Pumpkins and carving tools will be provided. In addition to walking the trail, there will be marshmallow roasting and crafts in the evening. Costumes are encouraged.
