The best part? This event won’t break the bank! For just $20, kids can purchase a passport that opens the door to a fun-filled extraordinary world.

Of course, there will be plenty of free activities, too!

Imagine a day where kids can wander through Downtown Bellefontaine, visiting stores, collecting treats, and creating memories with every single step. Friday, October 6^th, is that day!

An additional highlight of the Great Pumpkin Walk comes with the special $20 passport mentioned above. With this magical ticket, kids can bounce to their hearts’ content in the pumpkin bounce house, tiger combo, and castle. Yes, that’s right: unlimited bounces, and three different bounce options! Further, there will be the chance to participate in a mini photo shoot at The Photo Booth with this passport, which will capture moments to cherish forever!

The passport also allows kids to stroll through the downtown area on a hayride, as well as receive a FREE trip through the caramel apple bar and make their own scrumptious caramel apple creation. It’s guaranteed to be a taste of autumn magic that will leave all participants grinning from ear to ear.

It’s essential to note that each child will need their own passport to partake in these extra activities. VIP wristbands will be available at the courthouse for passport holders to claim, and individual bounce house tickets can be snagged for just $1 per trip.
