The SCDD Falloween Festival will feature an old-fashioned style carnival throughout VRS, with a haunted sensory hallway in the basement. Music will be provided by KC Chatfield in the parking lot of the school in addition to a trunk-or-treat and inflatables. At 6 p.m. there will be a costume contest that is open to all.
“This year's trunk or treat is going to be larger than last year's. The Batmobile will be returning, along with area first-responders, as well as, other vendors in the parking lot to pass out treats. There is going to be hotdogs, nachos, chili, and drinks available for purchase outside, with caramel apples, fresh popped popcorn, and cookies available for purchase inside the gymnasium,” said SCDD Outreach Coordinator Theresa Rowland.
Inside the school will be more games, a cake-walk, a cake raffle, and in the gymnasium there will be fingerprinting services, sensory booths, a scavenger hunt, and lots more activities to enjoy.
The festival is open from 5-7 p.m. on Oct. 24. Handicapped parking will be reserved for the front parking lot, and general parking will be located in the Mabert Road parking lot across from the school. Admission to the festival is just 50 cents, or free with the donation of a non-perishable food item. Inside the festival tickets cost 25 cents each (or five for $1.00) and can be used for all of the games, food, and activities.
