Wassenberg Halloween bash a fun time

Dr. Wassenstein’s Side Show proved to be another lively and successful event with unique performances, new food by Upper Crust LLC and always great costumes and dance music.

The annual event is pulling people from all over the region, including Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and even Arizona. Thanks to all who came out, drove from afar and working so hard on your awesome costumes!

We also want to thank our sponsors: First Federal Savings & Loan, Van Wert Manor, all of our dedicated volunteers, hardworking and creative staff, and our ever-present Wassenberg Art Center members and board of directors.

On November 18 we will open the annual Wassenberg Artist Members’ Exhibit just in time for the holiday season! The deadline for art submissions is Sunday, November 12. Call the art center and check out our website for more information.
