Laurel officials invite the public to enjoy the annual Harvest Moon Hayride from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday.

The hayride will begin at the parking lot of the former Laurel Police Department building, at the corner of B Street and C Street.

The hayride will continue along the Patuxent River to Riverfront Park on Avondale Street, where drinks, snacks and musical entertainment by "The Only Two" will be provided, along with a bonfire.

The cost is $3.50 per rider, with children two-years-old and under riding for free. Pre-registered groups of 10 or more may receive a discounted rate by contacting the city’s Parks and Recreation Department.
