Next, we’d like to say a thank you to our Buy Nothing Pinehurst/Olympic Hills group.  We seriously could not have done any of this without you.  Almost everything we took in we used.  *Every* stage and station was enhanced by the generosity of our Buy Nothing Group.

And speaking of special thanks we need to mention the generosity of Kym’s Kiddy Corner and Specialty Motors, and those who donated funds, candy, and pumpkins in support of amateur theater, the Halloween spirit, and most importantly community spirit.

And last, but never least, Thank You to our neighbors who came to the show!

We look forward to next year and hope that you will come visit us again!  Here’s to next Halloween!
