The trick: Carving out the time on one of the busiest days of Fall for family fun.
The treat: A Spooktacular day at Telluride’s Ah Haa School for the Arts.
The event takes place October 24, in conjunction with the 350.org celebrations.

Halloween, the annual holiday celebrated one week later on October 31, has its roots in the Celtic pagan festival of Samhain, marking the end of the summer season and harvest, and the Christian holy day of All Saints, honoring all those who have attained the beatific vision in heaven.

In anticipation of Halloween, Ah Haa opens its doors from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. for parents and kids work together to create creepy crafts and temptations to decorate the ultimate spooky home.

Recycling and repurposing are high on the agenda because October 24 is also international 350 day, when the world focuses on  finding local living solutions for global climate change. In Telluride, The New Community Coalition has organized a day of programs, activities, and information to bring the greater Telluride community together to paint the town green. Locally, 350 Day events culminate with a potluck dinner, 5 – 7 p.m. at Ah Haa.
