OSSINEKE — Dinosaur Gardens and Vivero Industries are excited to invite the community to the 7th Annual Falloween, taking place from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5. This family-friendly, free-to-the-public event promises a fun-filled evening of fall festivities, including the popular Trick-or-Treat Trail, food vendors, and local businesses handing out candy to guests of all ages. Costumes are encouraged for everyone attending.

Before the main event, a special VIP Party will be held from 3 to 3:45 p.m., offering early access to the Trick-or-Treat Trail at 3:30 p.m. VIP guests will enjoy activities including putt-putt golf and a fossil dig with a Halloween overlay, as well as bounce houses provided by Vivero Industries.

VIP tickets are $15 per person, with children 2 years and under admitted free. Only 100 tickets are available, and pre-registration is required. Wristbands can be picked up on the day of the event.

“This event is a highlight of the season for our community,” said Shannon Vivero, event organizer. “We’re thrilled to offer families both a fun, interactive experience and the opportunity to enjoy local vendors and activities in a safe, festive environment.”

“Each year, families are excited to join the VIP experience,” said Nicole, VIP Party coordinator. “It’s a fun way to start the Halloween season, and kids especially enjoy the fossil dig and putt-putt course, all decked out with festive Halloween decorations.”
