5th Annual DarkSyde Acres Friendly Monster Kids day

Well the 5th annual DarkSyde Acres Friendly Monster Kids day has come and gone without a hitch.  we could not have asked for a more perfect day! It was great seeing well over 200 kids dressed up in their scariest, and cutest costumes ever. We seen Vampires, and Witches, Zombies, Gorillas, and even a Dinosaur or two roaming about the property. Our Little guests were invited to create a trick or treat bag with Chelsea and Ally at the Crafts table, then take a Hay ride out back of the property, they were also welcomed to enter the Labyrinth for an adventure through the Outdoor Maze which led them to Zombie Paintball where they were able to shoot a Zombie, Finally they entered the Sunken Pirate Ship to claim their Bootys.
