We’ll have tractor rides through our Trunk-or-Treat, the legendary Box Maze, Preschool carnival-style games, hot dogs, and, of course, some fantastic chicken stew. Don't forget to bring a dessert if you can!!

Chicken Stew Plus Volunteers - here are a few bits of information for Saturday:

Set up for various things on campus will start at 10:00 am. We will break for lunch at some point and return at 1:30 pm.
