Toddler Tuesday: Awesome Autumn with Miss Tina

Let’s be honest. We all know fall is the best season. So, let’s celebrate it! Miss Tina will read autumnal stories, she’ll guide kids through some festive yoga poses, then everyone will get to enjoy a cute craft activity. It’ll be as fun as a giant pile of leaves!

Falloween

La Vista Police and City staff are joining together to host Falloween at a NEW location this year. Make plans to “Back the Boo” during the City’s safe and festive Halloween celebration hosted at the La Vista Police Department.

Families will be treated to the traditional Back the Boo Trunk-or-Treat experience as La Vista Police hand out candy from decorated cruisers. Come ready for a fun and interactive Halloween adventure.

You’ll also find a variety of fall activities (like pumpkin bowling and candy corn ring toss), inflatables and yard games. Be sure to stop by the photo backdrop to capture memories from the evening.

Your crew is invited to fuel up on a walking taco dinner, and then warm up with hot chocolate and s’mores—all for FREE. Whether you’re dressed in your costume or celebrating fall with family and friends, Falloween is the perfect way to kickoff your Halloween festivities.
