Your kids can enjoy our “Pumpkin Happening” Children’s Area AND help other kids with physical and developmental disabilities.

KEEN St. Louis, a non-profit serving disabled kids, will benefit from the proceeds of our  children’s area.  KEEN St. Louis provides free recreational and sports programs for kids age 4-17 with physical and developmental disabilities. KEEN’s mission is to foster the self-confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities, allowing young people facing even the most significant challenges to meet their individual goals.

For $5 kids can paint their own pumpkin (until the pumpkins are GONE), make a button, and jump all day at the bounce houses (2 for toddlers and 2 for older children). Pumpkin Happening also includes FREE activities like face painting, balloon creations from a clown artist, magic shows by Abracadabra, the Frilly-Miller show, dancing, and watching movies.  Rainbow Play Systems will have several displays for kids to try out.   Timberland High School Art Club in Wentzville will provide many cool photo spots.

Other FREE activities include solar and star-gazing with the Astronomical Society of Eastern Missouri; pumpkin carving by the St. Charles Area Woodcarvers.  Macaroni Kid will talk to parents and hand out info about kid-friendly opportunities for the family in the metro area.

Area high schools have painted Halloween scenes, pumpkin art, and will create pumpkin sculptures. Several area youth groups and high schools will be volunteering to assist the adults.
