🎃💜 What a day, Embrun!
Happy Sunday, everyone! We want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who helped make yesterday’s Accessible Halloween such a meaningful and magical day.
To our sponsors, community partners, Friends of the Village, local fire departments, OPP, bylaw, suppliers, the Township of Russell, our friends, and everyone who jumped in to help — we simply could not have done this without you.
And a very special thank you to our incredible volunteers. 💜 From early setup and welcoming families, to helping throughout the Village and Enchanted Trail, assisting guests, handing out treats, keeping things moving and staying to help us pack it all back up — you were everywhere. An event of this size simply does not happen without volunteers, and we are so grateful for every single one of you who gave your time and energy to make the day special for our families. 🎃
This was a BIG undertaking, and seeing approximately 1,200 visitors come through and experience Accessible Halloween made every bit of it worthwhile.
This year brought three very different experiences together — our Halloween Village, the whimsical Enchanted Trail, and the incredible Regulation Station in the tennis courts, run by Flow Recreation Therapy.
From Susan and Amelia’s art table and Juliette’s beautiful live harp music, to Starbucks along the trail, our amazing special guest characters, trick-or-treat stations, giant displays and all the little moments in between — there was so much magic packed into one afternoon. ✨
Here are just a few photos from the day, with lots more photos and video still to come! 📸 We’d LOVE to see Accessible Halloween through your eyes too, so please share your photos and videos and be sure to tag us! 💜
Most importantly, thank you to every family who came out and spent part of their Saturday with us. Seeing so many people enjoying an event created around accessibility, inclusion and belonging is exactly why we do this.
We’re extremely tired today, incredibly grateful… and now the extra fun begins by unloading and dropping of a giant U-Haul truck 😂📦🎃
Thank you, everyone. What a day. 💜
See you next year! 🎃🧡
