Kenwood Thrills, Again!

The Kenwood Community Center was crawling with cartoon characters, dinosaurs, princesses, superheroes, wild animals and even a mail carrier at the Thrill Kenwood celebration on Saturday, October 28.

Kids and families enjoyed face painting and zombie makeovers and dancing Thriller, as part of the global Thrill the World event. Attendees warmed up with cider and snacks provided by the park and tasty cookies donated by The Kenwood Restaurant. Creation Station projects and a scavenger hunt were led by ARTrageous Adventures and prizes were awarded for “Participating” families.

An annual Halloween event, Thrill Kenwood raises funds and food for Joyce Uptown Food Shelf, a local resource for people experiencing food scarcity. The event was a collaboration between ARTrageous Adventures, the Kenwood Community Center, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and Kenwood Neigborhood Organization.
