This Saturday on the Riverwalk! 🧟🎶

Our LAST PRACTICE is this Wednesday at Hillcrest Lodge in Mount Vernon @ 5:00.

Then we can perform the next evening at Hillcrest Lodge Cascadia Clubhouse Halloween Dance Party, 6pm in costume for those of you ready for a dress rehearsal.

Chris Campbell (DJ Chris!) will run our tunes at the Thursday dance and at our Thriller performance on Saturday. He's a hard worker and awesome DJ - he'd appreciate tips. So please share some love, because he's going to make our event special. And Erick at 360skagit is going to record our live performance. Be sure to "follow" his page.

Our worldwide performance is Saturday, Oct 24th 2:00 to 4:00, live recording at 3pm - Riverwalk Park Mount Vernon. And T-shirts for donation of $25 CASH ONLY. --- And, it may actually rain that day so bring covers for your costume until the live recording 🤗

We’re excited for the Trick-or-Treat On 1st Street coming up in two weeks! 🎃

Important Note! 🚨 This year our promotions committee elected for the event to take place a day earlier, on Friday the 30th, to help accommodate all the community partners who make this event possible. We’re very thankful for our partners at the Street Department, MVPD, and multiple community non-profits bringing festive actives for the first time this year.

Thank you to everyone who has rallied behind our business and donated candy and our sponsors WECU CPI Plumbing & Heating & the Yousling Family
