A Very Spook-tacular Hilloween!

Thanks to everyone who attended the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce's 7th annual Hilloween event this past weekend!  We had over 1500 little ghouls and goblins in attendance at the carnival, which was transformed by One Degree Events and Kendalls DJ & Events into a haybale maze featuring eerily delightful games and activities, and magical and spooky acts by Jude Sack, RainbowGore Cake, ImaginationBand, and scary storytime with Aleksa Manila, with DJ Tony Burns spinning the haunting tunes all afternoon!  And how about that super fun obstacle course?

hilloween candy poster The Chaotic Noise Marching band kicked-off the costume parade and Trick or Treat again this year with a fang-tastic musical performance!  And 1st Security Bank really outdid themselves with their ghoulish Haunted Laboratory. This community party is free and open to everyone - thanks to our generous sponsors! 

We'll post photos of the days activities to the Hilloween website and  Facebook event page!
