The required minimum donation is $20 a person. Cash or checks made out to Edward Allard will be split between the non-profits. One can also write a check directly to either organization. 100 % of the proceeds will go to the two non-profits.

The many Halloween decorations I have accumulated over the years will be featured. We will provide deli sandwiches, salads, savory snacks, desserts, soda, water and ice. There will be a fire pit in the large backyard, weather permitting.
BYOB- Please bring whatever alcohol you are drinking.

Costumes are required, which makes it more magical for everyone, Minimal and maximum effort costumes are all welcome!
No heels, please!

Jason V the DJ will be playing dance music 8:30 to 11:30 from a selected list, while my eclectic mix of cocktail and dance music will begin and end the evening.
