Event Details:

A New Year, A New Halloween Adventure!

After several years of our Scavenger Hunt, we decided it was time to shake things up! We've had some great hunts over the years, but coming up with fresh and exciting challenges year after year has become a little trickier.

So this year, we're switching things up and bringing you a Halloween Bash filled with games, friendly competition, costumes, food, and fun!

🏆 Games, Games & More Games!

We're bringing in a 2 person team Cornhole (Bag) Tournament, along with a an individual Pepper Pong (ping pong) style tournament. 

Whether you're a serious competitor or just looking for a little fun and bragging rights, there will be opportunities to jump in and play. Games and competition details will be announced as we get closer to the event.

👻 Costume Contest Is BACK!

Costumes are not required, but they are highly encouraged! Pull out your creative side, get spooky, get silly, or go all out!

And of course, we'll be voting on BEST COSTUMES, so start thinking about your look early. The competition is FIERCE! 🎃

🍲 Dinner & Halloween Goodies

Come hungry! We'll have dinner prepared by Denise and Deb, along with snacks, desserts, and all the goodies to enjoy throughout the evening.

We're planning another cozy fall evening with good food, great company, and plenty of time to relax, catch up, and enjoy the Halloween atmosphere.

Bring your own beverages, and don't forget to bring lawn chairs for the fire pit. Since October evenings can get chilly, you may also want to bring blankets, scarves, mittens, beanies, and anything else to keep you warm. Denise and Greg will have the patio heaters ready to help keep everyone comfortable.
