Spook the Halls
Join the City of Kyle for the 3rd Annual "Spook the Halls!" at Kyle City Hall. Local children and their families are welcome to walk through Kyle City Hall and experience our very own Wizard of Oz themed rooms. Spook the Halls 2017 takes place: October 28 from 1-4 p.m., October 30 from 3-5 p.m. and October 31 from noon-5 p.m. This year we will offer a treat bag for each child at the end of the tour. The decorations are a combination of items brought from employee’s homes, purchased by employees or made by employees. Much of this year's sets are from recycled cardboard that many employees brought in from home. All children must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years old and who will take responsibility for the children in their care. The décor is age-appropriate for children as young as 3 or 4, but note, there is one section that is especially spooky. City staff is unable to accommodate large groups that arrive together. Plan to walk in groups of no more than about 6-8.
