BURLINGTON, ON October 20, 2011 – Halloween can break the bank and there is more taking on the part of the kids than giving. Burlington’s Ireland House has revived a program that is intended for smaller children and their families.
Takes place Sunday October 30st – beginning at noon and running through to 4 pm. Small fee of $5. For the children and $2. for the adults. Thrown in to make it a real deal is a pumpkin for everyone for as long as supplies last.
Lots of activities and crafts for children and adults! Pumpkin carving and painting! Make a magic potion, see special amulets and learn about herbs with The Witch (La Bonne Sorciere) in her creepy cabin!
Put on a brave face and find your way through our haunted woodshed! March in a costume parade! Enter our costume contest and win prizes! Make some supernatural creations with Mad Science! See a breathtaking fire & ice show! Have you fortune read in a crystal ball! Sink your fangs into delicious barbeque refreshments! Take in carnival style games & a Giant Maze! Live entertainment for children and adults including costumed belly-dancing instructions with Belly-up Dance Studio and other special attractions!
Looks like a fun program:
Storytelling with Child Proof: 12:30
Mad Science Fire & Ice Show: 1:15
Belly-Dancing Demonstrations & Lessons: 2:30
Costume Parade & Contest: 3:15
Crafts, activities, tours and other attractions all day!
The house itself will be decorated for the Halloween season with a woodshed being set up for a special surprise as well as the cabin being put to interesting use. We are told there will be “belly dancers” on the premises – that should ensure that Dad comes along with the kids for this event.
