C3 Events Place becomes the venue of ghoulish fun today as the place transforms into an instant playground for ghosts, magical creatures, witches and wizards alike.

Open to all kids and kids-at-heart who will come in their best costumes, C3 Events Place is hosting a Halloween party like no other.

Feel the thrill of walking through an eerie cemetery going to the grand Missouri Hall that is transformed into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’s great hall.

Everyone is in for both tricks and treats as various booths are set up for a truly fantastic time. Indulge in colorful face paint, mind-boggling magic tricks, storytelling and other fun activities.

Guests are sure to enjoy a delectable spread of C3’s popular children’s menu. There are the classic favorites in every party like spaghetti with meat balls, chicken nuggets in honey mustard and barbecue sauce, country fair-styled corn dogs, pork barbecue, and mini Mexican tacos.

What’s Halloween without the sweets? The event also promises confections such as caramel popcorn, cream puffs, lollipop cookies, ice cream, and cupcakes.

Plus, at the end of the party, the youngsters and their companions go home with goodie bags, special prizes for the best in costume tandems, and a smile on their faces.

“The party is our way of reintroducing the kiddie party packages of C3. Parents may want to consider holding their children’s next birthday bash here because not only do we offer dishes that kids will surely enjoy, but we can also help them set up various themes for the venue — a whimsical setting, a scene from a cartoon show or a jungle/safari set,” said Becky Coquia, sales and marketing manager of C3.

C3, which stands for “create, celebrate, captivate,” is a multi-functional event place that can accommodate simple to grandiose occasions. It is also open for corporate events such as product launches, seminars and team-building activities with basic equipment available for rent.
