31 days. And every witch is asking the same question. 👀

Where'd you get that hat? Where'd you get that cape? Where'd you get that broom?

Answer: your local witches. Your neighbors. The small businesses and makers who show up for Sandusky, Halloween Capital of Ohio every October. 🖤

That's what makes this weekend different. You're not shopping a chain. You're building a coven.

Cauldron Circuit passport launches Fri Sep 26 — 10 days out. 7 stamps = 1 raffle entry. $5,000 in prizes across 2 drawings.

Fifteen years of creativity, community, and impact. 🖤✨

The Sandusky Witches Walk is more than an event — it’s history in motion.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of that story and to support something that brings thousands downtown, fills local businesses, and creates memories that last long after October ends.

Thank you for the trust. Thank you for the opportunity.

Here’s to honoring the past and building what’s next. 🧙‍♀️
