In shorter readings, it is best to have a topic you would like to focus on, so I can gather as much information as possible about the situation in question. As a medium I may receive messages from those who have passed. A short reading can be an opportunity for a wake up call around a particular situation in your life, or a call to action. I merely connect the physical realm to the spiritual realm so that this sacred information can be relayed. This is free for all - make sure you sign up for a time slot upon entering the event, as they are limited."
--- Costume Contest
Everyone can enter the costume contest at no cost. There will be group costumes and single costumes. Top three costumes for each category will be picked by the judges and then those three will walk around the event asking for dollars for votes. Every dollar equals one vote. Whoever has the most votes wins and all proceeds will go to our mission.
--- Jekyll & Gin Scavenger Hunt
VIP TICKET HOLDER ONLY. VIP Ticket holders will get their first clue for this scavenger hunt when they enter the event. Find all the clues to redeem your exclusive cocktail.
