Halloween Harvest Costume Ball
Ball haunts the Paso Robles Event Center Oct. 26 & 27
Could you venture through
darkness among zombies
and bone-chilling screams?
If you dare, a bloodied guillotine
awaits your arrival…
On Oct. 26 and 27, Adelaide Hall
at Paso Robles Event Center will be
transformed into the coolest bash of
its kind on the Central Coast when
the Halloween Harvest Costume Ball
returns to Paso Robles. This 21-andover
sophisticated jamboree is high
on Hollywood-caliber FX, fright,
fun — and it benefits a great cause.
Professional props, fog, theatrical
lighting and sound-effect systems
will set the scene, but costumes are
mandatory at this Disneyland for
adults, beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday
and Saturday nights.
“This year, we are accentuating ‘harvest’
with design elements, like straw
bales, corn stalks and ‘The Gatekeeper,’
our ominous 20-foot scarecrow,”
By Melissa Chavez
said Brad Golden, Chief Visioneer.
“An entire gallery of torture devices
will be inside, complete with a 13-
foot guillotine, full-scale torture rack,
stockades, and an electric chair —
perfect for photo opportunities!”
Food and wine, beer, cocktails, and
non-alcoholic drinks for purchase will
be available. Bonnie’s Kitchen, famous
for running Jimmy’s Watering Hole
at Mid-State Fair, will feed hungry
ghouls and goblins. In addition to
general admission tickets, a reserved
section ticket nearest the stage offers
tableside service and a first glass of
wine or beer.
Burning James and the Funky
Flames will burn the proverbial house
down with dance music on Friday
night before Paul Thompson raises
the roof again at Saturday night’s
Devilish Dance Party.
On both nights, more than $1,000
in cash prizes will be awarded among
the Scariest, Funniest, Sexiest, Most
Original, Best Couple, and Best
Group categories at the Grand Costume
Competition.
A portion of proceeds will benefit
the American Association of University
Women (AAUW). A nationwide
nonprofit, AAUW awards grants to
empower women in pursuit of higher
education. Visit atascadero-ca.aauw.

“Our creative team works yearround,
planning, preparing and building.
I’m incredibly passionate about
making props and decorations for
the costume ball,” Brad said. “I hope
others will enjoy right along with me
what we’ve created for them!”
