Are you looking for "something" fun and frugal to do with the kiddos to celebrate Halloween? Here is are a few things, some of them free and some of them with a fee. See what works for you and your family. This is a huge list, but hopefully you an get something out of it. :)
**Carnival - Annual event with silent auction, bingo, games, food, face painting and a haunted house.
Friday. 5-8 p.m. (TONIGHT) Seth Woodard Elementary, 7401 E. Mission Ave., Spokane Valley. (509) 921-2160. (WE WILL BE THERE!!!) This is SOOOOOO FUN. WE GO EVERY YEAR!!! The admission is free, tickets will be 3 for $1 at the door. Most games and activities are 1 or 2 tickets. The SILENT AUCTION IS AWESOME!!! Last year we won a silent auction bid to have our oil changed at Jiffy Lube for $6! You can even get dinner with your tickets. Where else can you go and take your kids to have a GREAT time for way less than $20 (at least my three kiddos). Some friends are ours are taking their kiddos (2) and only spending $12 total for tickets. You EVEN can win FREE cakes at the cake walks. We have been to many other carnivals and this one BY FAR IS THE BEST! All the proceeds go back to the school and support those kiddos. Admission is FREE and you don't have to attend Seth Woodard in order to attend. So, come on out! It is going to be a blast! I look forward to this EVERY year.
