Danville Parks and Recreation will host its first Monster Mash Block Party on Saturday.
The free Halloween event will include candy, a costume contest, a jack-o-lantern contest, dancing, face painting, and games located outside Bosstick gym.
The party replaces the annual Hargrave Hall Haunted House where volunteers transformed the town office building into a spooky site.
“The haunted house became just too much work for volunteers for 9 years. It took a toll on our staff, so we are going to try something else,” said Nate Phipps, Danville Recreation Manager.
The Monster Mash Block Party will be held Oct. 26 from 5-7 p.m. The Danville Metropolitan Police Department and Danville Fire Department will be on hand with s’ mores and games. Guests will also have a chance to meet the Indiana Lyons.
Organizers are still looking for volunteers to help out. If you’re interested contact nphipps@danvilleindiana.org or call 317-745-4180 x5205.
