HalloWest
Come in your best Western or Halloween get-up for the Museum’s fall celebration. Create your own HalloWest crafts and get your face painted! Explore the maker space and let your imagination run wild with everyday materials. Try your hand at fast-draw target practice and learn a Western dance or two. Meet Chester Scissortail, the Museum’s mascot, and take part in trick-or-treating through Prosperity Junction and outdoor Town Square (candy-free treats available). Wrap up the evening with Western stories of spooky suspense! While supplies last. Kids 12 and under free.
