Kids Mini Burn

Following up on the Kids Mini Effigy build, we'll parade the kids' effigies to a firepit at 7:30pm to burn together. Come out for a chance to get hands on, get creative, and learn a bit about fire safety! Starting from Creature Kids, we'll parade to a firepit for the burn (location TBD).

Tea and Haunting

We are hosting tea and hauntings under our shade structure beyond a spooky graveyard. Come enjoy some tea, howl at the sunset, and grab a ghost costume with us when we head out as a fright of ghosts to haunt the community, where we will make the ghoulish demand of others to tell us cheesy, corny, and cutesy jokes to exorcise us. All jokes/puns will be BOOed. Don't take it personally, we are ghosts after all. We provide the ghost costumes and tea, bring a cup.
