Last year almost 1000 children and adults cruised through the gates at Pedro St. James and many were dressed up for Halloween all enjoying the fun Spookfest day at Pedro’s. Lisa Ebanks, Artist and Board Member of VAS shares, “The costumes were fantastic, and the volunteers enjoyed dressing up as well”. “The actives were fun, the Haunted House was scary and there was a lot of free chocolate for everyone”.

This free event could not be possible without the sponsors and volunteers who have assisted to make this a success day and expect an event better Spookfest this coming Saturday. To find out more you can contact DMS, TAB or Visual Arts Society.
