 During the month of October haunted houses are a common sight and in this week's Northwoods adventure, Josh Peterson takes us to the Carnival Freak Show. It's that time of year when things go bump in the night and now it's on display at the Beltrami County Scaregrounds. Welcome to Carnival! Back by popular demand the Bemidji JC's revived their Carnival, a twisted carnival filled with a collection of oddities. Well it's back this year because we had a very successful time last year. We brought it back after about a 10-year hiatus. The community really jumped on it, appreciated having something a little more local that they could go to. Under the branded title of Carnival, this year's edition is subtitled Freak Show where patrons are taken on a creepy tour of its sketchy collection of characters. Every performance I guess would be a little different and just kind of got to feed off the energy of the attendance. People come in with an open mind and ready to get scared. They're gonna have a good time. But to change things up, this cast of characters have made some changes to their setup, hoping to find new ways to spook their guests. As Carnival returns for its second year, this year's version of a Freak Show offers something to stimulate all of your senses. In its first weekend, hundreds turned out to get freaked out and for some they seek out these scary thrills every year. We came last year and it was very scary so we're checking it out this year. I usually do. I'm a type person. I do the Halloween stuff. Any type like holiday or you can go with your friends and do some fun stuff. When it comes to the art of spooking, it's not one size fits all. That is why when it comes to Carnival, this crew works to find a scare for everyone. Everybody has their own definition of what's scary, what's creepy, what's freaky. And we like to hit on every one of those aspects. So while some things may not suit your desire of being scared, we definitely have something that will. So whether it's a fear of small places, spiders or clowns, this carnival has something for all. With this week's Northwood's adventure in Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. Was the clown happy or just a little little giddy? I don't know. It depends on if you're scared of clowns or not.
