Spooky night's fun

Arviat

Hamlet employees and youth volunteers did a spooktacular job of creating a genuine Halloween experience for youth in the community last week in Arviat.

The kids got to experience some truly spooky scenes, some great character scenes and some truly magical scenes during their visit.

They also, of course, flew away into the night with lots of great treats.
