What a perfect start to the month to get us all in the Halloween spirit. You might even spot our celebrity judges, who will be awarding trophies to their selected favorites.

We have another big announcement for the Resource Fair and Family Fun Day: Drawings by Trent and his family will have a table with his artwork available to purchase. You may already be familiar with Trent's story from social media. Trent was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old, and also began to draw around the same time. He has been drawing animals ever since, and continues to find peace and express himself through his art. The way he draws with speed and accuracy is truly remarkable. We're all excited that he will be stopping by!
