Hi all! We have an exciting update to share about our Halloween Extravaganza on October 28th from 3-5 pm at the UNC Farm.

A Moment of Magic Foundation at UNC has offered to bring Princess Belle (from Disney) to our event! They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that allows college students to provide creative programming to pediatric hospitals, social service institutions, and directly to families. Their most popular service is princess visits and they wear high quality costumes, almost identical to what you would see in a theme park.
To make sure we respect any individuals who are uncomfortable around characters, we will have Belle in a special location, with the option to choose to meet her. We wanted to give everyone notice in advance, to make planning easier!
They also send volunteer character handlers with each princess to make sure visits run smoothly.

Their website is amomentofmagic.org .
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask Megan Maness at [email protected]
