MORE FAMILY FUN

Kids will love trick-or-treating (from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.) all around The Avenue, too. More kid fun includes inflatables, a rock-climbing tower, face painting, a balloon artist and more. Kids can swing by the “pumpkin patch” to pick up a free pumpkin while supplies last.

Stop by the Rutherford Parent booth to register for door prizes. In addition, your family can enjoy stage demonstrations and performances, including the popular Tom Mason and the Blue Buccaneers’ pirate band (pictured at bottom of page).
