ALIENS HAVE LANDED IN WESTCHESTER! 🎃👽🛸

Things got out of this world at the YMCA Spooktacular! WISH brought the thrills with an alien-themed Haunted Maze, where visitors embarked on a choose-your-own-adventure journey to send some unexpected extraterrestrial guests back into space! 🚀

From “super mild” to “super super scary,” there was an adventure for everyone, with plenty of surprises, screams, and Halloween fun along the way! 👻

A huge WISH thank you to Ms. Jordan (Drama), Mr. Barba (Fine Arts), and our talented Owls, who brought the maze to life both behind the scenes and as our fearless scare actors!

And a special thank you to the YMCA for bringing our Westchester community together for such a spooktacular evening! 🧡
