We’re getting closer to our Fall Spooktacular— and our business community continues to come through!

Since our last update, four more Fall Spooktacular attractions have been sponsored: the Petting Zoo, Pony Rides, Maze Bounce House, and Pumpkin Design Station. Thank you to the businesses and organizations helping make these experiences possible!
Fall Spooktacular is a completely FREE event for families, and the support of our local businesses is what allows us to keep it that way. With nearly $20,000 in attractions and entertainment, every sponsorship helps us bring another piece of the day to life without passing that cost along to the families who attend.
We still have some of our biggest attractions available to sponsor, including Bumper Cars, the Rock Wall, Scarecrow Maze, Obstacle Course Bounce House, Chuckleberry Farms Bounce House, and Harvest Toss.
We also still have ONE Spooktacular Champion sponsorship remaining, along with our exclusive Presenting Sponsor opportunity.
If your business has been thinking about getting involved, now is the time! Sponsorships are first come, first served, and we’d love to put your business name behind one of the remaining attractions.
Thank you to every business that has already stepped up to help. We couldn’t put on an event like this — and keep it free for our families — without you.
