Trick-or-Treat on the Berm: Important Update!

  from Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce:

We have been watching the weather closely, and due to ever-changing and unpredictable conditions, we have decided to pivot our event tomorrow. Instead of Trick-or-Treat on the Berm we will Trick-or-Treat in the Gym at the Birch Bay Activity Center.

 
We are thankful for the team at the Blaine-Birch Bay Park & Recreation District 2 for offering this option, so we didn’t have to cancel.

 
With 3m mph gusts expected, tents and outdoor setups could create a hazardous experience, so this moves ensures a safe and fun environment for everyone.

 

 Date & Time: Saturday, October 25th 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
New Location: Birch Bay Activity Center Gym @ 7511 Gemini Street

 
Thank you for understanding – we can’t wait to celebrate with you tomorrow!
