Friday and Saturday, December 8th and 9th - Red Vein Haunted Christmas at the Hanover Vegetable Farm 

7:30-10pm
As 1999 comes to a close and Y2K looms at the turn of the millennium, the holidays give a chance for reflection and repentance. With the help of suffering spirits tied to the land, and mischievous yuletide creatures, there may yet be a chance to save your souls… or be led down a dark path where a sinister specter awaits.

Sunday, December 10th - Krampus Flash Tattoo Day at SinnerG Tattoos.
