Kooky, Spooky, and All-Together Ooky Activities Fill the Family Museum for Scarecrow Shenanigans

Bettendorf – Come in costume and celebrate the fall season! On Sunday, October 26, from noon - 5:00 PM the Family Museum's annual event, Scarecrow Shenanigans, returns this year with even more kooky, spooky, and ooky activities. Almost every gallery and room in the Museum will be filled with art activities, games, and science projects.

The day will start off with the Pleasant Valley Ensemble "The Trom-Bones" performing seasonal music as the first guests arrive at noon. In the Museum's Great Hall, visitors will discover the mysteries of dry ice through ghost bubbles and screaming spoons, win piles of candy by playing Halloween games, and then grab a quick snack. The Family Museum Gallery will get a spooky make-over that is not for the faint of heart. In the dance studios, guests can watch the Family Museum Dance Company perform songs inspired by Despicable Me at 1:30 and 2:30, and they can decorate a mini pumpkin. Visitors are also invited upstairs to make slime out of common household items, make glow-in-the-dark vampire veins, and dissect real eyeballs. And new this year: there will be trolley rides for children and adults outside.

Tickets are $3.00 for Family Museum members and $8.00 each for the general public.  Tickets are available now.  Everyone must have a ticket to enter - even Family Museum members. For more information please call (563) 344-4106, or visit www.familymuseum.org.  Scarecrow Shenanigans is sponsored by The Family Credit Union.
