Three Pillars Trick or Treat-Dousman-
We love going to Three Pillars each year for their Halloween Haunted Woods. It is a wonderful tradition, if you are going to go out remember it is for children who are in 6th grade and younger. It runs from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm, there is a shuttle that picks you up from Dousman Elementary School. Be sure to bring a food donation for the Kettle Moraine Food Pantry. It is a rain or shine event, and be prepared to be waiting outside in line to enter (think warm thoughts!). If you bring a stroller, make sure it is an umbrella stroller (learned that one from experience!).
