What Should We Bring?
Flashlight: The trail will be lit up, but it's always good to have a light source with you.
Warm Clothes: As the sun goes down, temperatures will drop quickly. Make sure to layer up under your costume. We won't dock you points during the costume contest for being bundled up!
Good Walking Shoes: Robinson Woods is a great place to walk, but it does have an uneven surface. Make sure to wear appropriate walking shoes that support your feet and keep them warm.
Trick or Treat Bag: Please make sure to bring trick-or-treat bags for your little monsters.
