One thought on “Halloween in the CD – HiawathOween, Franken Hooker and more!

  1. It’s time for the annual free haunted house at 26th and Fir in the CD! Bring the kids for scary good times! Bravery in the face of monsterous peril will be rewarded with fantastic candy. Unless they’re just lil tykes, then they don’t have to be quite so brave.

    5-9 pm, Halloween only. Hope to see you there!
