Halloween Noogiefest to Transform Gilda’s Club into Friendly Haunted House
Kids and costumes, ghoulish games, crafts and creepy cuisine to highlight Oct. 29 event.
For the last twenty years the Rosloniec family has volunteered at Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids to transform the clubhouse into a friendly haunted house for their annual Halloween NoogieFest celebration. This year’s event will be on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 1-3 p.m., for West Michigan families to participate in spookily exciting activities at Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids 1806 Bridge Street NW location.
Kids of all ages and their families can participate in friendly ghoulish games, crafts, activities and enjoy creepy cuisine. There will be professional pumpkin carving demonstrations and attendees will have a chance to take home the carved pumpkins in a free raffle. Halloween NoogieFest will culminate in a magician show for attendees to enjoy together. Those attending are encouraged to wear costumes. Please note, Gilda’s asks costumes not include weapons or masks that fully cover the face or head.
Gilda’s Club Grands Rapids’ Youth Program has a wide range of opportunities specifically designed for kids and teens impacted by grief or cancer, whether they are living with cancer themselves, know someone living with cancer or know someone who died due to any cause. Gilda’s Club utilizes age-appropriate support and educational activities to meet youth where they are. Included in the Youth Program is Noogieland, named after the noogies that Gilda Radner’s ‘Lisa’ character used to receive on “Saturday Night Live.” Noogieland is a special place in the clubhouse at Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids where kids can be kids, connect with other children and families, and see that they are not alone.
Halloween NoogieFest is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are encouraged. Those wishing to attend can contact info@gildasclubgr.org, or call 616-453-8300. More information is available at gildasclubgr.org/noogiefest.
