'First Frightday Spooktacular' at Gallery 'N' Gifts, Oct. 7

Tehachapi Valley Arts Association and Gallery ‘N’ Gifts is excited to announce a “First Frightday Spooktacular” on Oct. 7 from 4 to 7 p.m., featuring Halloween-themed artwork by its local artist members. Refreshments will be served, and as always the event is free. Oct. 7 also marks the “dead-line “ (excuse the pun) for community members to turn in their submissions for the annual Decorated Witches Hat Contest. A costume contest and awards for the hats will be held Oct. 28 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. with prizes and refreshments. Entry for these events are free. Visit @Galleryngifts on Facebook or call (661) 822-6062 for more information. Gallery ‘N’ Gifts is located at 100 W. Tehachapi Blvd.
