Dress in your finest, fanciest or funniest outfit and join in the fun. Participants can dance, design trick-or-treat bags, decorate pumpkins, and take chances at the Go-Fish Tank and fortune telling. Commemorative harvest photos will be available for $2. Performances by Kontagious and MLT Dance Program students will be ongoing throughout the day.
Harvest Festival activities for kids and families will run from 4-6 p.m., and a dance for middle and high school aged students runs from 6-8 p.m. There will be delicious snacks, exciting events, music, games and crafts. The admission fee is $5 per person or $10 for families (up to four family members). All proceeds will benefit the Mountlake Terrace Dance Company Scholarship Fund.

Clothing group in need of support
Clothes for Kids, a Snohomish County non-profit working with low-income families in need, has a need of its own.
In the first five weeks of the school year, Clothes for Kids has served 1,256 children — a record number for the organization, and 25 percent ahead of last year’s total.
With many families feeling the pinch of challenging economic times, this trend is expected to continue, which would bring the need to over 4,000 wardrobes this school year.
Clothes for Kids is in desperate need of financial and in-kind donations. Financial assistance is needed to provide new underwear, socks, shoes and other urgent needs. In-kind donations of new and gently used children’s clothing are greatly needed.
