Register now for Hawthorn's Halloween Spooktacular event

Hawthorn, a super-regional shopping center in Vernon Hills, invites the community to attend its Halloween Spooktacular from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 28, on the lower level near Center Park.

During this fun-filled event, there will be a 45-minute magic show by Magic Dave that will include the levitation of an audience member, as well as face painting and balloon twisting, an inflatable bounce house, pumpkin decorating, cookie decorating, and a costume contest.

The cost per child is $5; free for kids younger than 2. To register, visit www.eventbrite.com/e/684919531757.

Each child that is registered will receive a "spooky basket," a pumpkin to decorate, and access to all event activities.

A portion of the proceeds from the event's ticket sales will support Orphans of the Storm, a local animal rescue organization.
