Fernwood is Boo-tiful!
We are so excited to be attending Fernwood's Annual Halloween event! This year The Halloween Happening is taking place on Saturday, October 24th from 6-8 pm. You can find our more information here on their site but from their website they said:
“Calling all ghosts, ghouls, and witches! Dress in your best costume and find your way to Fernwood to celbrate Halloween with activities and treats for the entire family. Create Winifred’s magical bubbles along with Cheri Hallwood, local award-winning author of Frogwilla, Winter’s First Snowflake, The Curious Polka-dot Present, and One Wish for Winifred Witch. Her books will be available for purchase and signing. Enjoy trick or treating in the gardens, pumpkin decorating, spooky creatures and stories, and more!
Also, delicious spooky snacks will be available for purchase. ”
Last year we took a gorgeous American Girl's Samantha Tarkington and a handsome Luke Skywalker to the Halloween Happening. It was such a wonderful evening.
The kids loved trick or treating around the gardens. Who doesn't love to get candy? And they loved to see all of the volunteers in their costumes. Everyone was so nice and the whole outfit had such a great atmosphere.
And as much as my kids love to see the trains (you can read all about the train garden and our deep affection for it here), they love it even more when it is spooky and scary. Well maybe not scary but a lot of fun!
One of our favorite times of the evening though was roasting marshmallows over the fire and making s'mores! Such a fun time sitting around the fire with other families and making a snack.
They had a variety of snacks available and it provided a laid back time for our family.
After the snack we made our way to the main building. And as much as the kids loved the event I was just amazed by all of the details that Fernwood did. All of the lights in the trees and all of the fun. You can tell they put a lot of thought and time into the event.
The last thing we did for the evening was to paint these adorable pumpkins.
Aren't these little pumpkins just the cutest? Our kids had so much fun!
If you are looking for a fun event to celebrate Halloween we'd love to hang with you at Fernwood this year. I love that there is trick or treating, decorations, fun spookiness, snacks, crafts...a little bit of everything to do!
These two will tell you you'll have a hauntingly good time!!!
