Goblins Galore at St. Mark’s Spooky Potluck and Fun Fest

Ghosts and goblins took over the St. Mark’s campus Wednesday, October 25th for the church’s annual Spooky Potluck and Fun Fest. Nearly 150 kids and their families attended the event, enjoying tasty treats and fun activities along the Trick-or-Treat Trail.

At each stop along the festive trail, various organizations from throughout the Marco Island community handed out goodies and several hosted fun activities.

“Parents want a fun, safe place for their kids to trick-or-treat and this was it!” said Rev. Jessica Harris Babcock, Rector of St. Mark’s. “Thanks to all of our sponsors who made this so special for the 250+ kids and parents that walked our Trick-or-Treat Trail!”

Kids lined up for custom-painted tattoos and fortune telling by the St. Mark’s resident fortune teller, took pictures at a super scary photo booth hosted by the Collier County Sheriffs, ate delicious ice cream handed out by the Marco Patriots and even tried gourd bowling at the Kiwanis tent.

“The Kiwanians had a great time and enjoyed being with this wonderful community turnout. Everyone had a fantastic time from the wonderful potluck to the trick-or-treat trail. We will be back next year!” said past

President Barbara Murphy.

“Marriott’s Crystal Shores/Marco Island Team had a SPOOKtacular time at St. Mark’s Trick or Treat Trail,” John Louie, General Manager, said. “What a

fun event for the local community with many BOOOtiful stations. Thanks for inviting us to participate!”

St. Mark’s will host this family fun event again next year and is looking forward to welcoming even more of the Marco Island Community.

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church is located at 1101 N Collier Blvd.
