The Monarch hosted a special Halloween-themed market last Saturday, where lucky attendees walked away with an earful of beautiful Americana tunes, painted pumpkins, bags of candy and unique goodies from the artisan vendors.
It was the kickoff for three “spooky season” events this month at The Monarch. Kids stayed busy with indoor trick-or-treating to over 25 vendors, and creative studios and adults migrated to the beer garden after a little shopping to enjoy live music from Ogden’s country-folk duo Turtle Dovin’.
Young artists painted pumpkins in the Ninth Muse Academy of Art workshop and later lined up for a costume contest where all were declared winners.
Artisan vendors included the return of Petra’s Backstubchen German treats, Delicius Venezuelan food, Dawnitas Doggie Delights featuring dog bandanas in adorable fall prints, Seek 4 Chocolate, Jesse The Banana Boy’s gourmet banana bread, Logos Coffee, Stone Sense jewelry, Northern Stitches knitted items, Knots by Gisele macrame, Wired Up Creations, Tulanari Design handmade jewelry inspired by women for women, JulBudRanch handmade soaps and more. Paul Mitchell salon was there doing glitter hair and fake tattoos.
There are two more upcoming events to get you into the Halloween spirit at The Monarch this year.
