This Friday night, get in that costume and make this a Halloween to remember. All ages are welcome at this event presented by the Springfield Park District. Participants will enjoy delicious snacks, groovy tunes and plenty of candy. The event’s name recalls the famous “Monster Mash” song by Bobby “Boris” Pickett & The Crypt Kickers. And if it’s anything like the song, the dance also will be a “graveyard smash,” too. Register at bit.ly/SPD_Oct_Dance. The activity number is 370250. See the IT Calendar for a list of more Halloween events.
