Something Is Happening at the Carriage House After Dark... 🌙
Grab your cape, your wig, or that costume you've been "saving for the right occasion." 👻 Women &amp; Family Life Center is hosting Carriage House After Dark, an adults-only Halloween costume party and trivia night, on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Carriage House, 96 Fair Street.
Expect trivia, treats, sips, and plenty of Halloween fun with your shoreline neighbors. Come as something spooky, something silly, or something nobody can quite identify. We're not here to judge, except maybe the trivia answers. 🧠
Curious what the spirits have to say? Tracy Ann Psychic Medium will offer 10-minute private readings from 6 to 8 p.m. Spots are very limited, so if you want one, don't wait for a sign. This is the sign.
🎃 Party + Trivia: $35 🔮 10-Minute Private Reading: $65 ✨ Party + Reading: $85
Every ticket supports Women &amp; Family Life Center, a community-based nonprofit helping individuals and families through life's transitions across the shoreline.
