We are a family affected by autism. As our family member grows older, the venues available to them become scarcer. Our goal is to provide a venue specifically for those special needs individuals who are looking for community functions and events.
We do several walkthroughs with lights on and lights off to deal with the various levels of stimulation tolerance. Our intent is the event be spooky not scary. We do not use any bloody or gory props. We are NOT focused on scaring the visitors but providing a enjoyable haunted Halloween experience.
We dare you to take a tour of our haunted library where spine-tingling frights await you. The library has had 114 years to collect ghouls and ghosts and they are ready to be let out for one night only. All ages are welcome, but parental discretion is advised as this event was created by local teens who are ready to scare.
“Engage for Life” is a community pro-life event. Music, desserts, and the opportunity to meet local ministries like Possibilities Pregnancy Center, Rally Round for Ultrasound, Centralia 40 Days for Life, Centralia College Students for Life and Human Life of Lewis County. Our keynote speaker, Mike Spencer, lives in Ohio and is the Midwest Regional Director of Training for “Life Training Institute” and was a pastor for 23 years. His message will equip and encourage the body of Christ to answer God’s call to defend the vulnerable, be a voice for the voiceless and love the women who have been hurt by abortion.
Join with area churches as we rally together to graciously, compassionately and relentlessly engage in the cause for Life and Truth. Families welcome.
For children and teens. Trick or Treat in the library.
