PMoA Hosts Annual Family Halloween Party

LAKELAND – Polk Museum of Art will be host to its annual Family Halloween Party from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28. The cost is $5 per child and $3 per adult.

The celebration includes a scavenger hunt, Halloween-themed games, “icky story time” and a (not-too-very) scary movie. Children and their families are encouraged to attend in costume. Families can embellish their Halloween “look” with special-effects makeup, have caricatures drawn by a local artist and create Halloween art projects. Prizes include candy treats and art supplies.
