A dark, rainy night and little masked marauders will present a challenge to drivers Saturday night.

It’s Halloween.

Keep in mind that rain will likely dampen roads this weekend and obscure your nighttime vision.

Those two factors make the night extra dangerous for drivers: Revved up children as they go about their trick-or-treating may not pay attention to moving vehicles. Combine that with dark Halloween costumes and face masks that obscure their vision, and you have an accident waiting to happen.

Drivers, here are a few reminders.

• The first is obvious: slow down and drive with caution, especially in low-lit neighborhoods between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight.

• Better yet, if you can, avoid driving through neighborhoods. Sidewalks and streets will be filled with candy-craving kids.

For parents of trick-or-treaters, here are a few reminders:

• Trick-or-treat as a group. Accompany your younger children.

• Choose costumes that don’t obstruct vision. Add reflective material or tape to your kids’ costumes so they’ll be more visible to drivers.

• Give a last-minute briefing to your trick-or-treaters. Review safety measures. And if you’re driving them to different locations, by all means have the kids exit and enter on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Now, looking for some fun and looking for something tamer than the Kitsap Haunted Fairgrounds and the  Scrap Yard Massacre in Belfair?

Here are some other events that might interest you.

HAUNTED HARBOR
From 6-9 p.m. Oct. 30, the Brownsville Yacht Club invites children ages 12 and younger and their grown-ups to come trick or treat aboard spooky, decorated boats on the breakwater at Brownsville Marina, 9790 Ogle Road, Bremerton.

Haunted Harbor is a family friendly event for younger children (think “Casper the Friendly Ghost” instead of “Walking Dead”).

Haunted Harbor is also a benefit for Bremerton Foodline. The suggested admission is a donation of one or more of the following items per person:

Hot or cold cereals; canned vegetables; meals in a can (ravioli, stews or pasta rings); canned fruit or fruit cups; granola bars.

Peanut butter or jelly (12 oz. size or larger); canned meats; Jell-O or pudding packs; cookie and cake mixes.

Sundries, including toothpaste, toothbrushes, bar soap, shampoo, disposable razors; disposable diapers and wipes (adults and babies).

Pet food, and household cleaners and paper towels.

“We are excited to see the community come together for wholesome activities for families and thrilled to be the beneficiary,” said Foodline Executive Director Patti Peterson. “It sounds like the beginning of a wonderful tradition connecting the boating world with others in the community in a very positive way.”

Haunted Harbor will start with a kids’ costume contest in the Brownsville Yacht Clubhouse at 6 p.m. Costume entrants will be divided into two groups: children 8 and younger and ages 9-12.

From 7-9 p.m., following a safety briefing, children and their grown-ups will go to the breakwater to trick or treat decorated boats crewed by ghosts, fairy tale characters, and pirates. Volunteers will be on hand to help and answer questions. The wide concrete breakwater is very stable and a limited number of children’s lifejackets will be available for loan.

Art SLAM Studio will offer free pumpkin painting in the pavilion and children will also be able to “trunk and treat” five antique hearses provided by the Anubis Hearse Club.

SUPER SQUASH SCAVANGER HUNT
Looking for something different? Bloedel Reserve’s annual Super Squash Scavenger Hunt continues through Nov. 1.

Bloedel horticulturists and volunteers planted seeds in late spring and after a summer in the hot sun, the once tiny seeds now look like something from the imagination of Dr. Seuss.

“Fall color is a real treat at Bloedel. Add in a fun and interactive activity for the kids, and a visit to Bloedel should be on everyone’s to­-do list this season,” said Ed Moydell, executive director.

With more than 300 fruits (yes! they’re fruits) placed in the gardens, children of all ages will enjoy perusing the pumpkins and scouring the squash. All will be rewarded with a picturesque walk, and the children will receive a prize after completing the hunt.

Bloedel Reserve is open 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
