Prairie Capital Convention Center will host ScareFest Road Trip, a convention for horror and paranormal enthusiasts, April 12-13. Intended as a preview of the larger convention held in Lexington, Ky., each year in September, attendees are encouraged to wear costumes or cosplay, though it is not a requirement for admission. There will be a meet and greet and costume contest Saturday from noon to 3:30 p.m. Other highlights are a gruesome magic show, Circus Envy, a horror-themed circus exhibit, and more. Put on by Ghost Chasers International, Inc., owned by Patti Starr and produced by Chuck Starr, the event is being filmed by a major television network.
