We can't thank artist Stephen Fletcher enough, who was generous to come into View this past Wednesday to create his 3rd backdrop for our upcoming Halloween Party tomorrow, Saturday, October 28. Given a massive 18 ft. x 10 ft. canvas, Fletcher created huge images of Frankenstein's Monster and his Bride in just a few hours to go with the Monster Mash theme of this year's party. We are very fortunate for artists like Fletcher who are willing to take a simple prompt and let his imagination run with it on such a large scale. Our Monster Mash Halloween Party runs from 7:30-10:30 with FREE admission for everyone. We have complimentary finger foods, a cash bar, and a costume contest with cash prizes!
