Ghost Stories, S'mores And Bonfire - 18:30 to 21:00

Ghost Tales - Bonfire - S'Mores
Ghost Stories location change:
Event will be held at Old Roberts Schoolhouse.

Park in the same location and at the opposite side of the lot is our 1850's one room schoolhouse. We'll still have the bonfire, s'mores and smiles, just a different location.

We tried over the past 3 days to make the "beach" area work but it is still not ready to host events. So we decided it best to have it outside next to Old Roberts School.



Roast marshmallows to golden gooey perfection and place between the chocolate and graham crackers all while listening to the storyteller by the stream in the woods.
