When organizing games and activities, go for classics like bobbing for apples (catching apples from water without using hands)or a best costume contest. This approach will allow all guests to feel the spirit of Halloween from years past, full of joy and nostalgic fun.

Eco-costumes – be responsible with Pepco!
