Three Decades of Halloween Fun
The 30th anniversary of STPH Parenting Center's Monster Mash fundraiser presented by
Metairie Bank Northshore will be celebrated on Saturday, October 20 at beautiful Bogue Falaya Park in Covington.
This community-beloved festival hosts more than 2,000 families and offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a safe and fun holiday event each year.
Proceeds from Monster Mash fund ongoing programs and enable the Parenting Center to introduce new services, many of which are offered at little or no cost to the community.
The mission of the Parenting Center has always been to promote confidence and competence in parenting, encourage optimal child development and enhance the well-being of the family as a whole. As our population grows, the resources required to fulfill this mission and strengthen families in our community increase as well.
The 30th anniversary of Monster Mash will combine community favorites such as the Trick-or-Treat Village, Princess & Pirate Party and live music with a few new tricks and treats to commemorate the legacy of Monster Mash and the Parenting Center.
