HALLOWEEN COSTUMES are welcome, moreover, this would be a great time to show off your BLAZE ORANGE attire.
REFRESHMENTS include hot apple cider to complement the bring-a-treat table; your hot and cold potluck dishes are welcome.
TRAVEL BUG exchange table will be available. To facilitate smooth transfer, please consider posting a note in advance to drop the TBs you will be bringing. Please take no more than one for each one you bring. If you have an extra one to drop, that will allow a newcomer to grab one if they can help it along. Please sign them in and out on sheet of paper that we use for answering any questions that arise during the week to follow. Log them out on website as soon as you can, but do allow some time if they were not dropped early.
CACHE ITEM exchange will be a yankee swap variation. You are invited to bring trade item(s) (with value about $5) either gift wrapped for the season or not and please distinguish between child and mature items. At about 3:15pm, we will start drawing one name at a time for someone who is in the room to pick out an item. Each person or team will get a chance to choose. If you must leave early, something will be arranged. Keep it simple, make it fun.
