Family Matters Club prepping for Oct. 29 Halloween Carnival

The Canyon Lake Family Matters Club is once again putting on its annual Halloween Carnival and Costume Contest this year. The event will have a Trunk or Treat where Canyon Lakers can volunteer to give treats to the costumed kids in attendance.

The club is actively seeking sponsorship for the carnival. This year, the club is on the lookout for event sponsors to join in on the spooky fun at the “Spooktacular Family-Friendly Carnival” set to take place at Holiday Harbor on Oct. 29.

This family-friendly extravaganza draws in hundreds of young children and their families, all donning their favorite costumes to revel in a day of Halloween-themed excitement. The Family Matters Club invites potential sponsors to be a part of this joyous occasion where their brands will be seen at the event. The event consistently attracts a vast audience of families, making it an ideal platform for sponsors to gain visibility.

Notably, sponsorships are tax-deductible, and with the support of these generous contributors, the club aims to transform this year’s gathering into a truly spine-tingling experience. Furthermore, the club intends to utilize the proceeds to continue its philanthropic endeavors within the Canyon Lake community.

Meanwhile, Canyon Lake families should mark their calendars for Oct. 29, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., for the carnival. Wristbands for children are priced at $5 and grant access to a plethora of ghostly delights, including dozens of games, a craft station, face painting, and a lively dance party, to name just a few.

Unlimited fun wristbands are $5.00 per child and include dozens of game booths, craft stations, face painting, a dance party, tattoos, trunk or treat, and prize table. There will be a children’s costume contest for various ages with prizes and a parade. This will be a fun family safe/friendly event.

Also included will be an old fashioned apple bobbing and a pretzel eating contest. An award will be given to the best-decorated vendor booth.

There is also a fun vendor shopping area for local made items and holiday crafts. Vendor booths are $45 and the application is available at familymattersclub.org.

The concession stand will be open for food and snacks throughout the afternoon will feature nachos, hot dogs, candy and beverages.

The carnival is open to all Canyon Lake residents and their guests.

For local teens seeking to accumulate community service hours, this Halloween extravaganza offers an excellent opportunity to give back while relishing in the holiday spirit.
