The Festival Will Go On
Rain isn't as scary as all the rest of those Halloween goblins and ghouls! For those of you wary of the weather, never fear; the majority of the festival will be indoors or under cover! We'll be there, and we hope you are too!

Be On The Look Out...
We've been tracking the movements of a very unique creature! Given its current pattern of movement, it appears that it will be in the vicinity of North Collier Regional Park around the time of the Festival. This photo was taken the last time it was sighted in the region. Keep your eyes open!
