Wichita Police will be holding a Halloween in the park safety event on Friday, October 22nd from 6-9pm at Cypress park on 350 S. Edgemoor. Trick or treating, safety tips and a free bear from Wesley hospital for elementary aged children only. A safe environment to get some treats and learn some tips and interact with Wichita Police and safety personnel.
The Sedgwick Co. Zoo's annual Night of the Living Zoo is the 22nd, 23rd and 24th from 6:30-8:30 each night. Tickets can now be bought in advance for $6 per person at any local QT. If you are a zoo member they are $6 at the door, and $8 for nonmembers. My kids have always enjoyed this event where they get to play games, get their faces painted, and get all kinds of free candy. This is definitely my must-do pick of the season!
"Trick or Treat Street" at Wichita Children's Theater and Dance Center. It is an interactive, indoor Halloween-themed event for children 10 and younger. See a musical, and trick or treat along an imaginary street with 16 doors for kids to get treats and goodies at. See a clown, play games, and have a safe, fun time for younger kids. Go to the website for times available.
For some faith filled fun this weekend there are two really great options. One is "A-Maze-In-Grace" presented by Christ Community Church. Located on 2130 S. Webb Rd, it is an interactive maze with harvest events and games. Live music is being featured this Saturday. Go to the website for driving directions, times, and a link to a coupon!
Another great option, that might make you have chills is Judgment House put on annually by Newspring Church on East 21st and K96. Find out what happens when a couple's life is shattered during a home invasion that sends them to the "other side". This is a drama about faith that you should consider seeing for yourself. I saw last years and the heaven and hell scenes are so amazing! There is a lot of time, talent and dedication that goes into this annual production that is life-changing for hundreds of people every year. If you have questions about faith, and are curious, you should check it out. (Note: not recommended for children under 10 years old due to sensitive or scary subject matter) To avoid the wait, which could be as much as hours without advance tickets, you can purchase a ticket for $4 on the website.
And finally, if you've been looking for the right time to adopt a new pet for your family, this weekend may be it! The Kansas Humane Society is having an adopt-a-thon this weekend. Starting Friday at 11am all pet adoptions will be half off. I spoke to a volunteer at Pet smart last weekend and she said they will be open round the clock offering the sale until 200 animals have been found homes. What a great cause and a great deal! Remember, getting a pet at the humane society includes the spaying/neutering, and micro-chipping. Check out their great interactive facility and bring the kids to play and connect with just the right pet.
