Castlemont Asks Community to Help Make its Family Festival Spooktacular

It's that time of year. Pumpkin patches begin to appear, haunted houses begin to come out from their seemingly ordinary-looking homes.

Castlemont Elementary is also getting things going for its annual Fall Family Festival but needs the community's help.
