Church. Nut Night was started 21 years ago by families who couldn’t, in good
conscience, celebrate the debauchery of Halloween. Since then, it has grown
into a huge ministry for all members of the community.
According to Elaine Sollars, “Nut night is truly awesome! Everyone is given tickets
to get cotton candy, caramel apples, popcorn, snow cones, dinner is
provided for everyone. Hot dogs, chips and drinks all for one price. There
are rides, blow-ups galore and silly kid games where children can earn candy.
Everyone dresses up. It's a zoo!”There is a $3.00 admission, which includes food,
candy and carnival games and rides. The event is open to families and children
of all ages and will have age appropriate activities. For information call Todd
Bussey, Associate Pastor, at 812-858-8668.
