The event will feature carnival-style games, crafts and other activities. There will also be a pumpkin patch where kids can spin and win a pumpkin, and the ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman?’ craft room. Each station will have a different game or activity where kids can get candy as they trick-or-treat their way through the ballroom.
