Calling all Volunteers!
Join Us for Frights & Folklore at the Refuge!
Step into an evening where nature meets mystery at Frights & Folklore, happening Tuesday, October 28, from 5:00–8:00 PM at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. This community event, sponsored by Friends of the Wildlife Corridor, will feature haunted hallways, hands-on activities, and a special Folklore & Legends Tram Ride that brings South Texas stories to life under the night sky.
We’re looking for college clubs, service groups, and adult volunteers to help make the evening unforgettable! Opportunities include:
-
Guiding guests, assisting with activities, and supporting the folklore tram ride.
-
Hosting an activity booth highlighting nature, wildlife, or cultural folklore (with a fun spooky or seasonal twist).
-
Sharing treats with little trick-or-treaters (candy, stickers, seed packets, or eco-friendly goodies encouraged).
-
Dressing in costume to add to the festive atmosphere!
Whether you’re leading a craft, sharing local legends, or helping families explore the refuge after dark, your involvement will help create a memorable and meaningful experience for the community.
