Helping others IS what it's all about. Very long important post.
Kid Friendly Asheville is for helping people out. We do not charge for these advertisements or charge for posts about these great family fun activities in the area. We want to give you and your family FUN FAMILY things to do. We try to promote activities that are free of charge. Not everything is free though. We wouldn't post anything that we wouldn't enjoy ourselves.
With that in mind we posted about making cookies for United Way a few weeks ago. KFA got an email today about more opportunities to volunteer in our area that would bring you and your family together. Helping others IS what it's all about. Here is the website.
Hands On. Be the change. Volunteer. Asheville-Buncombe

A new twist to our Howl-O-Ween event - our hours of operation will begin at 1:00pm and end at 8:00pm. We will have the marvelously talented Mountain Marionettes performing 2 shows (7:00 and 7:40pm), arts and crafts for the kids, face painting, the Howl-O-Ween Family Feud game, animal enrichment programs and lots of yummy snacks for sale. Our Creepy Crawler Cabin will be back with special guest stars such as arachnids, insects, large worms, rodents, and flying mammals. Back by popular demand, our Costume Contest will be held early this year:
6:30pm for children ages 1-10 and 7:30pm for youth ages 11- 17. Times may change, so please call ahead to confirm. Come in costume for a fun evening of Howl-O-Ween cheer!
See you for Howl-O-Ween Saturday evening October 25th!
