Monster Blast! feature Eddie Munster, tv legend Butch Patrick

The ToonSeum is celebrating Halloween with a Monster Blast for families with children in grades K-5! Creepy, crawly and spooky creatures of all shapes and sizes will converge on the ToonSeum on October 29th 2011 from 2pm to 4:30pm.

The event will kick off with a visit from Eddie Munster himself, television legend Butch Patrick who will be on hand to sign autographs for the kids.

Attendees will participate in multiple creative activities as well as enjoy music, Halloween cartoons, and of course lots and lots of Halloween toys and treats. Children will have the opportunity to make monster magnets, masks, drawings, and more.

Cartoonist and storyteller Joe Wos will present storytelling with live cartoon illustration. The afternoon will be a celebration of those cartoon creatures that go bump in the night.

MONSTER BLAST will incorporate all the mildly spooky fun of Halloween while promoting imagination and creativity through creative hands on activities. Whether children want to create that creepy creature hiding under their bed, or the friendly little imaginary best friend, the ToonSeum staff will encourage them to let their creativity, and inner monster, run wild!

Children’s admission for MONSTER BLAST is $15 for non-members and $10 for members. Parents with children are free. Admission includes all of the day’s activities, entertainment, supplies for various crafts, and a ghoulish bag full of goodies valued at over $20. For more information, contact Joe Wos at joe@toonseum.com or call (412)-232-0199.
