Haunted Halloween Happenings & The Valley Witch Festival

Haunted Halloween Happenings

The WVRD celebrates Halloween 2013 with the Pemi Valley Chamber of Commerce' 'Valley Witch Fest' on Friday & Saturday, October 25th & 26th.  On Friday, kids ages 6+ come to the Rec for our 'Haunted Fun Night Out' - gym games, pizza party & pumpkin carving/decorating; pre-registration is required, so please call us at (603) 236-4695 or email us at recreationinquiry@watervillevalley.org.

Parents (well, really anyone; kids not required!):  Sweep on over to the Waterville Valley Conference Center after dropping your kiddos at the Rec, and be part of the 'Mountain Masquerade' & annual chamber dinner.

On Saturday, spend the day in the Town Square with our Mystical Extravaganza and Vampire Vineyards Wine Tasting (21+, please!) before joining us at the Rec (promptly at 4 pm) for our youth costume contest & Schuss Bus Trick-or-Treating.  The haunting good time continues well into the night, with the 'Spellbound Soiree with Comic Hypnotist Frank Santos Jr' (21+) at The Lantern in Town Square.  Tickets are still available online; limited tickets will be available at the door.  Afterwards, head down to Legends for their namesake Brewgala and adult costume party at 10:30 pm.

PLEASE REMEMBER:  THERE IS NO TRICK-OR-TREATING IN WV ON OCTOBER 31st!

Big 'Thumbs Up' for a great season at Corcoran Pond Waterfront

Columbus Day Weekend also marked the season finale of Recreation Department programming at the Corcoran Pond Waterfront.  Our rental boat fleet, picnic tables and beach volleyball have been packed-up and relocated off-site to winter storage.  Thanks to everyone for an incredible 2012 season ~ we'll catch you again on Memorial Day Weekend for the 2013 season opener!

HAUNTED HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS

Haunted Halloween Happenings, Friday & Saturday, October 26 & 27, 2012

Join us at the Rec on Friday, October 26 for our annual 'Jack-O-Lantern Carving & Pizza Party', 6 pm - 7:30 pm.  Bring your friends & family (& pumpkin, if you'd like) and we'll provide the space, carving tools and snacks for a spooky good time.  Please pre-register with us, especially if you will need to purchase a pumpkin from the Recreation Department, as our pumpkin supply is limited.

On Saturday, October 27, join us for our annual 'Trick-or-Treating' event, including a ghoulishly-good 'Mad Science Spooktacular' presentation, followed by costume contest in the gymnasium, then our (un)traditional Schuss bus trick-or-treating.  Don't forget to stop by the Rey Center on Saturday evening to see if you have what it takes to brave the haunted gallery.  

Those wishing to participate in any part of Saturday's event, kindly register on-site between 3:30 pm and 3:50  pm.  For more information, please call us at (603) 236-4695.

Don't forget:  THERE IS NO TRICK-OR-TREATING IN WATERVILLE VALLEY ON OCTOBER 31ST!
