Halloween Social

Halloween Social with Pumpkin Pie and Apple Cider

Monday, October 30, 2024 from 1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

Cost: Free

Scary fun is headed our way for our annual Halloween Social. We will vote on the decorated pumpkins and choose a winner for our costume contest, so show us your creativity! Please let us know if you are coming so we can ensure we have enough whipped cream for your pumpkin pie! 

 

  • Bring a decorated, painted or carved pumpkin if you would like to enter the pumpkin contest and win a prize for your artistic talent!   

  • You may win a prize for best costume if you use your imagination and dress to impress, dare to scare or clown around in a checkered costume!

  • Wear a costume and attend Chair Aerobics at 12 p.m. before the monster mash if you so desire—we want this to be a day of fun!
