The 2nd Annual Halloween Hustle was cancelled, Sunday October 26th, due to high winds and dangerous flying debris. Volunteers began setting up at 3p.m. Sunday and realized within a short time that all items (including our tables) could not withstand the high force winds. By 4p.m. the decision was made to cancel the event when road signs, milk crates, and other large objects begin flying through the parking lot (hitting vehicles), blowing across the field, and over the trail.
Volunteers stayed until shortly after the 5p.m. start time in order to advise families of the cancellation and to pass out goodie bags to those we could. We appreciate all of those who came out to support this great event and apologize for the cancellation. It was a tough decision for us, but the right one from a safety standpoint.
We look forward to better weather next year! Thanks to all...Volunteers, Sponsors, & Families!
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
