The Nampa Complex will be taken over by ghouls and goblins on Oct. 19 as the Monster Mash Family Dance returns for some spooky fun.
But a few witches and superheroes are also welcome!
The event is hosted by Nampa/Northern Sunrise County Family and Community Support Services. FCSS director Amber Houle says the dance will be a great time for the whole family.
“We’re hosting the dance from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.,” says Houle.
“Anyone in the county or village of Nampa may attend.”
The spooky-good time will include a deejayed dance, costume prizes, glitter tattoos and a whole lot more.
“I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the evening with their neighbours,” says Houle.
“There will be no cover charge for families to attend, it’s just a chance for everyone to enjoy a Halloween Dance.”
The Monster Mash Family Dance is an annual event hosted by FCSS with the hopes of increasing social and cultural interaction.
“We feel community events are important to host as they foster a community feeling of well-being and togetherness,” says Houle.
“Snacks and refreshments will be available, and we are hoping that people from throughout the community will come out to have some family fun.”
Houle urges everyone to attend the dance in their most creative Halloween costumes. She says there will be prizes given out through the evening for participants.
If you’d like more information on the evening, please phone the FCSS office at (780) 322-3954.
