Witchcraft

Goodfellows, Rotary plan ‘fun’draisers

There will be plenty of broom parking available at the upcoming Witches Night Out events in Plymouth and Romulus when women have a chance to help causes dedicated to helping others.

The Plymouth event, organized by members of  the Plymouth Noon Rotary Club, will feature lots of tall, pointed hats, extreme witchy wear and cauldrons brewing up spells. The event is a fundraiser for multiple civic projects in the community which primarily benefit women. Witches Night Out has exploded in popularity across the country during the past few years.

The event has a huge following in several states where it has become a destination event drawing people from surrounding areas to attend the event. Attendees attend the event dressed as witches and warlocks and enjoy an evening of Halloween-themed entertainment, usually as a fundraising effort.

The Plymouth event will feature a Witches' Bazaar with various items for sale, photo opportunities, music, a costume contest, a split the cauldron drawing and raffle baskets. In addition, there will be a door prize of a black diamond pendant.

In addition to the cash bar and food available, the event will include fire pits, a hot cocoa bar and corn hole games. Events will take place from 5 until 9:30 p.m. Oct. 13 inside and outside the Plymouth Cultural Center. 

 The event will support local and international women's and children's Rotary programs. Tickets for the event are $45 and there are multiple levels of sponsorships still available. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit https://plymouthrotary.org.event/witches/
