Freeman Harvest Hoe Down, October 26, 2012

"It's fall -- and in the Freeman district that means "Harvest Hoe Down" time!  The Hoe Down is an annual event with games, actvities, music, food and prizes.  For three hours the elementary Multi Purpose Room, classrooms and gym get overun by students and families.

This community event (it's not just for Freeman school families) will be held on Friday, October 26, 2012.  It runs from 5pm to 8pm.  There will be games/activities like Donut Dunk, Cake Walk, Prize Wheel, Face Painting & much more. There is no admission cost.  Games and treats are individually purchased (most are $.50), and the whole family can get dinner/dessert at the Hoe Down.  Complete meals cost about as much as a latte.  There is no better bargain for a safe and fun evening to spend with friends and family. 

The Hoe Down is a major fundraiser for the Freeman PTSA and proceeds go towards funding many of their kid-focused goals such as classroom grants, field trips, Craft Night, & Missoula Children's Theater.

 

This year's MCT musical (cast almost entirely by Freeman K-8 grade students) is The Tortoise and the Hare, which will be performed on October 6, 2012.

Garfiel Library's 2012 October Fun Events

From: Kelsey Gallegos
Date: 10-1-2012

Garfield Library has many fun events going on this October for you and yours!

The 14th Teen Librarian Chelsea will be in Garfield to do a Teen Crafternoon. The Crafternoon will teach teens how to make bottle cap necklaces. This event will begin at 4pm.

The 17th is a Craft Day for Kids and Teens. We will be making suction cup spiders! These googly-eyed creatures will hang wherever you place them, just like their arachnid brethren.

The 22nd Garfield Library will be hosting a Disaster Preparedness and Halloween Safety Tips Informational. The event begins at 4 and will last until closing time at 6:30. Patrons are not required to show up immediately at 4 or stay until 6:30. Information will be given to them upon request.

The 31st, Halloween, Garfield will be holding a SPOOK-tacular party for all ages. Trick-or-treaters are encouraged to come in and get candy. Potlach Family Dentistry has generously donated toothbrushes and toothpaste to go into our trick-or-treat goody bags! There will be other snacks, music, a game, and a fun bookmark craft for those who are interested. All Ghosts and Ghoulies will be entered into a drawing for a Prize Book!

Monday is Story Time in Garfield. Books, songs, and crafts will be provided for all children who participate! October’s theme is Spooky Creatures. We will learn about spiders, bats, raccoons, and other nocturnal or ‘spooky’ animals.

Remember to like us on facebook to keep up with events and learn more about what is going on in your town!

Haunted Palouse Construction Starts September 29, 2012

Construction for the 11th annual Haunted Palouse begins this weekend.  People often ask "What can I do?  I want to support the event but don't want to wear a scary costume!"  The answer is there's LOTS you can do...

There are many behind-the-scenes jobs to do for both haunted houses and on Shady Lane - no costumes or acting required.

Help us build and decorate the 3 areas - we'll tell you what needs done, you don't have to be professional set designer!

Make cookies for the workers - starting this Sunday, crews will be working every Saturday and Sunday and many times during the week. At least 15 will be working each weekend day, and on performance nights, nearly 50!

Donations of pop, bottled water, chips, snacks, mini candy bars - or a donation to our account at McLeod's - all would be appreciated by the many volunteers. 

Some of the volunteers have small children at home - donating babysitting service to those working or building the event would be nice.

Would you be willing to donate a cordless screw gun this weekend?  We have several college guys coming to help on Sunday, but not enough tools to go around.

Prop items requested (there will be more):

Large mirrors, at least 36" square, or a sliding closet door mirror?  If you have one languishing in the garage that you no longer want, let us know (soon - so we can conjure up a different scene if we can't find one).

Squeaky toys - what they look like doesn't matter, they just need to squeak :  )

Recipients of proceeds include the Community Center, Arts Council, Garfield-Palouse Athletic Club, Lions Club, Palouse Museum, and Palouse Chamber.  New this year, proceeds will be used to turn the downtown Reader Board back on.

Thank you for considering supporting this community event.  Contact Paula Echanove or Janet Barstow to volunteer or for more information.
