What a Sweet Death

Hello all – wanted to remind you that our largest fundraiser of the year is coming up in just a few short weeks – Death by Chocolate on Saturday, March 8.

 

 

This year all chocolate vendors are being asked to include an uncommon “special ingredient” in their offerings – you have to guess what it is…

 

 

And also note that there is “regular” food at this event – so when (if) you are ready for something non-chocolaty, we’ve got it covered with delicious food from Blue Moon Caterers and Empire Catering.

 

 

RSVP Now here: www.exploration.org/deathbychocolate

 

Or call 316-660-0620.

Museum of the Undead

We have heard from many young adults that they are tired of going through the haunted houses and wanted something else to do for Halloween.

 

 

So we put together an event for adults 21 years or older – Museum of the Undead. It’s all about zombies, of course, which is a huge pop-culture phenomena right now. 

Details below. Please call with any questions. Thanks.

 

 

What: Museum of the Undead

 

When: Thursday, October 17, 6:30 to 10 p.m.

 

 

Where: Exploration Place, 300 N. McLean Blvd., Wichita, Kan. 67203, www.exploration.org, www.facebook.com/ExplorationPlace, Twitter: @DiscoverAtEP

 

Details: A scientific experiment has gone terribly wrong and we need help taking back the museum from a zombie invasion!

 

Event guests will be led by “survivors” and will learn Center for Disease Control (CDC)-approved survival skills, as well as the science of virology.

 

All the while, guests will have to keep an eye out for any of the undead lurching about…will guests make it through unscathed??

 

If guests survive, they can enjoy tasty food, drinks, music and more.

 

Tickets:

 

On sale now at http://www.exploration.org/undead.html or  316-660-0620 

 

 

 

Members: $20 per person
