ICYI Fall Harvest Event—Saturday,
October 10, 2009---Wel, have YOU ever been in the nostril of GORILLA?
Those of us who walked the corn maze at Tanner’s on a very cold and windy
day actually DID! Well, the nostril
was made of corn stalks, but it was still very easy to get lost!
We were almost ‘mud balls’ by the end of the day, and we are really
thankful to Rev. Timoth from HOPE Church in Naperville, who kept us on the
‘straight and narrow’ in the maze.......OK, there is NOTHING straight and narrow
about a corn maze, but we’d still be there if it wasn’t for Pastor Timoth!
We found all 12 sites to punch our maze cards....and turn them in for a
chance at winning a prize. We had
great fun, and have great pictures......wait until you see who the TALL man
really is!
Spider Hill in Chillicothe—Friday,
October 30, 2009---We will meet at the church at 6:00 pm to travel to
Chillicothe for the spooky evening.
Each attraction is $8/person, and we have some coupons (thank you, Arnie
Watkins :-)
) for $1 off. We can also
bring canned goods to receive $1 off an attraction.
There’s the Haunted Express...which is a hayrack ride through the forest,
the Trail of Terror, and a spooky mansion.
YOU can choose to do any of these, as long as you bring the correct
amount of money. The Boo Barn
is a a family-friendly area of Spider Hill, where those of us who are little
more ‘timid’ can hang out and have some Halloween fun.
There is a magic show, food and drinks, face painting and souvenirs.
You MUST call Pastor Karen by Thursday, October 29th, if
you plan to attend, so that we can plan rides. (815-481-2939)
