Lakeview Hospital is hosting the 11th Annual Boo Fest, an event benefiting children with disabilities and open to all children and their families.
The annual family-friendly event, slated for Oct. 28 at the hospital, features pumpkin decorating at the pumpkin patch, face painting, a complimentary photo booth, music and dancing provided by a DJ, and much more. The day's highlight is trick or treating along the wheelchair-accessible walking path around the duck pond and green space adjacent to the hospital, with children being able to visit more than 70 uniquely themed houses and castles decorated by local businesses, institutions, and families sponsoring the event.
Children are encouraged to wear their favorite Halloween costume and take part in the annual Boo Fest costume contest for the title of "Scariest," "Most Original," "Crowd Favorite," "Cutest," and "Best Group."
The event is from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Doors open at 9 a.m. for special needs families. A rain date has been set for Oct. 29.
Lakeview Hospital is located at 95 Judge Tanner Blvd. in Covington.
Admission is $2 per person and is free for special needs families--100% of the proceeds from Boo Fest are used to assist families of children with disabilities in purchasing home or vehicle modifications, assistive devices, and adaptive equipment previously denied by private insurance or Medicaid.
