Fall Festival
TRUNK-OR-TREAT
Thursday, October 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Car Decorators: Setup is from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m.
***Important Information regarding Silent Auction and Raffles***
Please see below for details!
The time is almost here! The kids are getting excited for our first Fall Festival Trunk-or-Treat! Get those candy bags ready (and let's be sure they are nut-free)!! Do you have your kid(s) and adult(s) costumes picked out?!
Information to know before the event:
All car sign-ups need to have the car ready and decorated prior to the event starting (setup is between 3:30 to 5:15 p.m).
For all pre-purchased wristbands and tickets (pizza, water, and any raffle tickets), there will be will-call envelopes set up at the event entry. The will-call envelopes will be broken up by last name to make for easy entry. Please note each wristband includes one balloon artist ticket and one face painter ticket.
We will close all purchases on Membership Toolkit at 9 a.m. Wednesday, October 26, 2022. This ensures time for us to package all the pre-purchased family tickets. Thanks for your understanding.
Please sign up on Membership Toolkit below for all pre-purchases:

If you missed the deadline for wristband purchases, don’t fret, wristbands and all other items can be purchased at the event. Please note, however, the wristband price will increase to $9 at the door. Wristband purchases are for kids only. No adult wristbands are needed for entry.
Please note this is a family event, and not a drop-off event. Please come and have some fun! There will be a DJ and a costume parade, and three lucky winners will be awarded a prize for “Spookiest,” “Silliest” and most “Creative” costume.
Don’t worry parents — we got you covered, too. The “Best Car” decor wins a $100 date night gift card to Enzo and Lucia (sponsored by Sungor International).
Lastly Raffles and Silent Auction: Some would argue the fun of the evening!!
