Come join the Halloween fun!

We will be partnering with Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance (DeMotte office) and planning a third annual DeMotte Boo Bash at Spencer Park on Thursday, October 23rd. In 2024 we had several hundred ghosts, goblins and witches. Of course, we would love to have you all join us in celebrating Halloween with our young crowd in DeMotte.

New this year, Oak Grove Christian Retirement Village will sponsor the Best Family Costume, so plan now and bring your best Halloween dressed to the 2025 DeMotte Boo Bash!
