2025 ALSC/Candlewick Press "Light the Way" Grant

 The ALSC/Candlewick Press “Light the Way” Grant is open to any project that seeks to engage an underserved population of children from birth up to the age of 14. Special population children may include (but are not limited to) those who have learning or physical differences, those who are speaking English as a second language, those who are in a non-traditional school environment, those who are in non-traditional family settings (such as teen parents, foster children, children in the juvenile justice system, and children in gay and lesbian families), and those who need accommodation service to meet their needs.

 

The grant recognizes that underserved populations vary from community to community, and all programs that seek to specifically address concerns in this area are eligible for consideration.

 

Application form - Due Dec 16, 2024

Seven Cedars Farm "Nighttime Low Scare Hayride" (Smithfield, RI)

 

Last year, we offered a Nighttime Low Scare Hayride during the week and many people loved it. So once again we are adding 3 "low scare" nights to our 2024 schedule. These nights will run differently than our normal operating nights on the weekend.

What these nights offer is a hayride throughout the woods with all the lights on but with NO actors to scare you.

These nights are perfect for those who frighten easily, have sensory issues, and/or who are just looking for some Halloween fun during the week.

We will run these 3 nights on Wednesday's 10/16, 10/23 and 10/30 from 6-8pm with the last trailer at 7:30pm.

Tickets are only $13 per person and are ONLY available online for these nights. Purchase them using the following link:
