🎃 Introducing Our Halloween Spook Boxes & Kids' Corner! 🎃

We are offering a complete bribery in a box and a fully visible distraction zone so you can eat a meal with both hands.🙌 🤞

📦 The Spook Boxes

• A Drink: To wash down the dirt they inevitably scooped up outside.

• A hotdog: For the main course as it’s roasted hotdog season.

• A Toy: Carefully engineered to distract them longer than a cardboard box.
• Chips: A classic favorite snack to tie them over.

🎨 The Kids' Corner (In Plain Sight!)

We’ve set up a designated, area right where you can see it. You can eat your dinner with both hands while they enjoy:

• Coloring Pages: Spooky and fun designs to spark their creativity.

• Playdough: Plenty of dough for molding mini monsters.

• Stamps & Ink: Fun Halloween-themed stamps for custom art.

• Free Drawing: Blank paper for whatever their imagination cooks up.

Rick Carpenter always has something up his sleeve he's been scouting the country's best haunted barns to bring the ultimate scares right here to Virginia.

👻 Breaking News: Ghosts and ghouls can’t throw a parade alone!

Small-town traditions and that warm family atmosphere don't just happen by magic—they take a village.
Specifically, they take our local businesses, clubs, politicians, organizations, pageant winners, and you!

We want you signed up for this year’s Halloween Parade. It’s the perfect excuse to start a new family tradition and slightly over-decorate a vehicle.

Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept):

Pimp your ride: Decorate a golf cart, a side-by-side, or build an epic float.

Weapon of choice: Grab a bubble machine, lights, music.

The bait: Buy an aggressive amount of candy or Halloween handouts.

The destination: Meet us on October 17, 2026, at 6:00 PM to kick things off.

👉 Sign up today—don't make us haunt you!
