Adults and little goblins are invited to a day of Halloween themed fun on Saturday, Oct. 17, from noon to 6 p.m. at the Newark Valley Fire Hall on Marean Road, just off Route 38. Admission and parking are completely free, and activities will include hayrides, games and vendors, raffles, bounce houses and food, and even dance performances.
There will also be a costume contest at 5 p.m. Registration is required in advance and can be done by emailing smoothentcompany@aol.com. Anyone participating will be asked to go on stage to show off their costume and their fun personality. Judges will award points for detail, personality, presentation and more. Costumes and props need to be family friendly, and please note that no real weapons are allowed.
Think you’re a master at carving pumpkins? Find out with the pumpkin-carving contest! Judging will take place at 4:45 p.m. and all pumpkins must be displayed at Monster Bash to be judged and to receive any awards. You can use small props, but they can’t be any bigger than the pumpkin itself.
For more information on Monster Bash, call (607) 280-1542.
