Create your own Jack-O-Lantern trick or treat bag in the Studio on Friday, October 23rd from 12:30pm - 4:30pm or Wednesday, October 28th from 2:15pm - 6:15pm.

Sign up at the front desk to make your reservation! Before your appointment, draw your Jack-o'-lantern face with a black marker on a piece of 8.5 x 11 white paper. Bring the finished drawing with you so it can be scanned and printed on your bag.

These bags and time slots will only be available while supplies last, so make sure you call (513-897-4826) or stop by the desk to be added to the list!
