Hallowe’en Reminder

The fire hall will be open to little ghosts & goblins etc. from 6 pm to 7 pm on Hallowe’en evening. If your driveway is too long, or you want to see the creative costumes of our island children, bring your treats to the fire hall downstairs. Or you can leave your treats and carved pumpkins at the hall during the day, at the front door and we will be sure to put them out for the witching hour.

Have a safe Hallowe’en.

Halloween Switch Witch Offer

With having new kids on the island, I thought I’d share something I did with mine when they were little, and that I’m happy to also do for others: the Switch Witch.

Kids get so much candy on Hallowe’en and it can be overwhelming when you have littles. The Switch Witch takes their candy and switches it with a gift!

If you need a Switch Witch, please text me at +12504169771 so I can prep. You provide the gift, I can provide the (not scary) witch! And you can have your candy back later if you want it, lol. I’m available after 430pm on Halloween and November 1.
