Brighton City Museum would like to thank everyone who came out for our 3rd Annual Halloween Open House. We collected more food than ever for donation and ran out of baked treats, and nearly out of goodies! A special thanks goes to our fellow tenants of Historic City Hall- Brighton EDC, Brighton Housing Authority, Colorado Horse Council, and the Highland Cattle Association. We'd also like to thank the Brighton Highschool Culinary Arts Program and Chef Heumann, Glitter Girls Facepainting, and the haunting and melodic "Scarolers" aka "The Other Reindeer" for their contributions to our ghostly soiree. Finally, none of this would have been possible without the Brighton City Museum's very own dedicated volunteers and Interns. HAPPY HALLOWEEN ONE AND ALL!
