Are you game?!

Let’s celebrate Halloween with a spooktacular time…. No scaredy cats allowed at this game night—horrible Halloween puns, however, are strongly encouraged!!!

Let's eat good food, drink, socialize, laugh and meet new friends all while playing games. Bring your favorite games (I am providing scattergories, pictionary, taboo and tribond) for a night of fun! Bring $20.00 if you are interested in playing Texas Hold’em Poker.

Please bring a hearty side dish (meaning no cookies and chips). The idea here is to make this a savory appetizer, snacky meal (cheeses & crackers, deli meats, olives, appetizers, quiche, mini pizza's etc. ).

"You don't stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop playing."

Please bring your beverage of choice (soda? wine? beer? etc) and a food of some sor t(a dish of your choice to share) please indicate what you are bringing so we all can plan accordingly).

**I will send out Shelly’s address for this event to only those “yes” participants the day prior to the event.
FYI: Shelly's dog, Sadie, will be hosting as well.

Get scared with the Singles group. Did you watch "Children of the Corn" in the 80's? Maybe it was "The Shinning" before that. Have an abnormal fear of corn stalks and mazes? Well, time to get over that fear and have some fun at Ken's Korny Corn Maze.

Ken's Korny Corn Maze, started in 2000, and has amazed and amused visitors since it's first day open. The maze is worked out as early as February where put on paper their ideas to turn five acres of a cornfield into two miles of twists and turns. The average time to maneuver the maze take 60-75 minutes.

The objective is to find each of the twelve mail-boxes, each of which has a stamp to apply to the game card. Each participant punches a game clock when he enters and the object is to complete the maze, gathering stamps from eac h of the twelve mailboxes in the shortest possible time.

We are going on one of the Haunted Harvest Nights. So, it supposed to be extra scary.
We may do both the maze and the haunted trail.

GROUPS OF 6 GO THROUGH THE MAZE

PRICE IS $17

***********************************************************************************
No-Show Policy
Hosts work hard to ensure successful events and no-shows can be embarrassing for them (reservations that go unused, for example), and it discourages members from hosting future events. And since our events are so geared to pair up six women and six men and fill up quickly, your RSVP held a space another member could have used and prevented them from attending.

Who classifies as a No-Show? Someone who RSVP's Yes to an event and:
a) does not show up
b) changes his/her RSVP to No within 4 hours before the start of the event.

We recognize that emergencies do happen, and sometimes members have to skip out at the last minute (they get a flat tire or have an accident on the way, for example), but if that happens, you still need to email or phone the Event Host ASAP and let them know why you're not coming (or, if you absolutely can't do it before the event, why you didn't come).

If you don't show up, don't update your RSVP and don't contact the host with a valid emergency reason why you failed to attend, you will be considered a No-Show and removed from the group.
