Like many ancient holidays, the Irish Samhain marked a transition of seasons—from summer (light) to the beginning of winter(dark)—hence some of the dark and stormy vibes of Halloween today.
Join us at Unity as we turn Halloween from a frightening night of ghosts and ghouls into a path to our good, with gob(lin)s of fun!
This mini-fundraiser for Unity will feature a Witches Brew guessing game, trivia, Jail &amp; Bail, Heads or Tails, a pumpkin pie-eating contest, and other ghostly games.&nbsp;Prizes will abound!
Wear a costume (you will be judged!) or come as you are. We’ll also have face painting and costume items available to don if you wish.
Heavy snacks and drinks themed for the season will be available.
Please come, bring your friends, and enjoy a ghoulishly good time—all while benefiting Unity!
6-9pm. Tickets are $25, with additional charges for activities at the event. Get tickets at the link or at our info table on Sunday mornings.
