If you want to play at the Rabbit Hole on Friday night October 25th too, you can take a pumpkin <strike>(one you bought at Northwoods Orchard?)</strike> for soldering pumpkin lights and pumpkin carving night.  Bring your own pumpkin and knife.  Need to learn to solder?  This will be a good night for that, bring your own kit or talk to the Toymakers in advance about other potential options (candle flicker simulator).  I'm assuming this one is 6 pm.  They typically order cheap pizza and pop, bring your $5 to pitch in if you want to partake.






For anyone who haven't been there before, their house is on the north side of the road up a steep and twisted driveway; park on the road with a parking brake. Walk up the driveway, <strike> up the steps, and ring the doorbell. </strike> into the open garage door, and into the house without needing to ring the doorbell.
