[RP TownTalk] Costumes, Cider, Creepy Tales & More Fall Fun at Riversdale!

[Ferris, Samantha]

Hello, hello!

I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather to start your weeks! October always seems to be a busy time & there are never enough weekends to pack in all the leaf peeping, apple picking, pumpkin carving, costume wearing, haunted happenings, and cider drinking that we'd like to enjoy. But, you don't have to go far to find many of these things; your favorite neighborhood house museum has you covered! If you would like to register or if you have any questions, feel free to email me or call the office.

Want to Costume Up?
There are still a limited number of spaces left for this Saturday, October 8th's Costume Ball. If you simply can't wait until Halloween to dress up, join us for this Regency-style ball and dress the part of your favorite portrait . We'll have dance instruction, light refreshments, and live music. Need some inspiration? The NGA has some wonderful portraits to get your started, http://bit.ly/2cYigI1.
