COSTUMES are encouraged though not required. Please ensure they are appropriate for a family/child event. YES!! A sports shirt or jersey IS a costume!!

PARKING & MEETUP: Cherry Street will be blocked off in front of the house so volunteers need to park in the Family Court lot on the corner of 26th & Cherry. There is also construction on 25th & Gillham Street, so that area is closed. There will be signs directing to the parking and where to walk to the event from the Family Court parking lot. Once you arrive at Longfellow House (large green building) look for a red Rav4 and a cardboard monster toss game.

**Dress appropriately for the weather, layers are recommended. I also recommend bringing a lawn chair and bottle of water. Lunch will NOT be provided, you are welcome to bring a lunch or snack.
