ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (October 11, 2022) — Dress up your little ghosts and goblins for a “Not So Scary” lighted-walk through the gardens after dark. Bring your flashlights and explore the nooks and crannies of the Sun Garden to search for spiders, bats, jack-o-lanterns, and toads as you wander down the darkened pathways.
