Celebrate Halloween with your family, friends and neighbors at the Monster Bash in Newark Valley!

You and your little goblins are invited to a day of Halloween themed fun on Saturday, October 17th from 12pm-6pm at the Newark Valley Fire Hall on Marean Road, just off Route 38. Admission and parking are completely free and you and your little ones will enjoy hay rides, games and vendors, raffles, bounce houses and food and even dance performances.

There will also be a costume contest at 5pm. Registration is required in advance and you can do that by emailing smoothentcompany@aol.com. Anyone participating will be asked to go on stage to show off their costume and their fun personality. Judges will award points for detail, personality, presentation and more. Costumes and props need to be family friendly and please note that no real weapons are allowed.

Think you’re a master at carving pumpkins? Find out with the pumpkin carving contest! Judging will take place at 4:45 and all pumpkins must be displayed at Monster Bash to be judged and to receive any awards. You can use small props, but they can’t be any bigger than the pumpkin itself.
