Haunt: Dark Encounters opens Saturday at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton, sending guests into the woods after five friends who vanished in 1996. Carla Welborn, the center’s marketing director, told Potomac Local News the trail is in its 13th year and runs Oct. 3 through Oct. 30 on Fridays, Saturdays and select Sundays at 9518 Workhouse Way.

The release lists tickets at $25 to $35 and recommends ages 13 and older, but Welborn’s cover note says $39 plus discounts, and the email’s pricing sheet offers $10 off Oct. 3, 9, 10 and 11 with code 10OFFHAUNT and $5 off Oct. 16, 18 and 25 with code 5OFFHAUNT. The release does not name the Sundays or the public hours. A sensory-friendly hour is set for Saturday, Oct. 17, from 6 to 7 p.m. Families reserve at [email protected]. The center sits on the former Lorton Prison grounds.

Friends, family, longtime customers, and county officials gathered Tuesday outside Montclair Family Restaurant and Grill, located near Dumfries, to dedicate a new entrance sign featuring the image of longtime manager Peggy Curry.

Curry, 70, died July 11 while working at the restaurant after collapsing on the job. She had worked there since 1990 — spanning three owners — and was widely regarded as the public face of the family-run eatery. She was a seven-time InsideNoVa Best of Prince William winner for best waitress.
