    (Some Activities are contingent on good weather. If rain or cold drives the party inside, there will still be plenty of activities, music, concessions, and partying. )

Jack-o-Lantern and Costume Contests

Come with your best carved pumpkin and enter it in to win the Jack-o-Lantern Contest. Entries must be present and displayed by 9:15 at the latest. Judging will be done by our adult volunteers, and the first and second place winners gets to take home a trophy and a free mocktail. Anyone who brings an entry may smash their pumpkin after the winner is picked, free of charge (at the pumpkin smashing station).

The Costume contest will be held at 9:30 with entries for “Scariest Costume” “Funniest Costume” and “Best Duo/Group Costume”. Each Winner gets a trophy and five raffle tickets. Judging will be done by votes from the activity volunteers.

Help us make this year’s Halloween a screaming success. Teenage volunteers are needed to help with setup (7pm-8pm) and tear-down (after 10pm) and are awarded three raffle tickets and a free volunteer token good for one concession item or mocktail drink.
Adults are needed to help run the activities, work as security, or act as support staff. Adult volunteers get three volunteer tokens, each good for one concession item or mocktail, to give to teens or tweens of their choice.
