Festival of the Jack O'Lantern

A 2-day Event!

Mark your calendars - the Festival is set for October 18th from 2pm to 9pm and October 19th from 1pm to 6pm.

We are currently looking for volunteers to go ahead and commit to helping out at this event. The perks of being a volunteer can SAVE YOU $. Every volunteer gets into the event free AND gets to bring a friend in for free. You’ll receive food and drinks while volunteering and get $10 off a membership.

The festival features pumpkin carving, hay rides, petting zoo, games, story telling in the treehouse, live music, a fun house and more!! We’re planning some new and fun events at this year’s festival. If you’re a loyal attendee to this event – YOU WONT WANT TO MISS IT THIS YEAR!

Volunteers will be needed in all aspects of the festival.
If you are ready to join the Volunteer Team, e-mail Volunteer Co-Chair Mattea Rolin at mrolin [at] mickleslawfirm [dot] com.
