❤️ WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION!
At AMVETS Post 35, we love putting together free, family-friendly events for our community. But to continue offering activities like this, we need families to come out and participate!
If you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or know a family whose kids would enjoy participating, please help us spread the word!
🎃 PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUESTED!
We need a reasonably accurate head count so we know how many pumpkins and supplies to purchase. There is absolutely no cost to participate, but we do ask that you sign up only if you genuinely plan to attend.
You can register by:
✅ Signing up in person at AMVETS Post 35
✅ Calling the Post to register
✅ Commenting below with the number of children attending and their ages!
Please don't wait until Saturday to sign up! We want to make sure every child who comes has a pumpkin waiting for them.
🇺🇸 AMVETS Post 35 is proud to give back to our community, our veterans, and our families. Help us make this event a success so we can continue doing more activities like this throughout the year!
🎃 Saturday, October 24th | 3–6 PM | FREE FOR EVERYONE!
