🎃 The Third Annual Northville Spooktacular is Here! 👻
Get ready, Northville—it’s time for a frightfully fun season of spooky spirit, friendly competition, and community magic!
​
We’re calling on every ghost, goblin, and ghoul to show off their most creative Halloween house decorations—whether creepy, kooky, or just plain silly. This year’s House Decorating Contest is your chance to out-spook (or out-funny!) your neighbors and claim bragging rights as Northville’s Halloween champ.
​
Best of all, every cobweb, pumpkin, and tombstone you put up helps support The Kids’ Table, a local nonprofit feeding children in need.
​
✨ Decorate. Compete. Spook your neighbors. Support your community. ✨
