Temple recently hosted its 15th annual Boo Bash and the second annual Spooktacular Soiree. Both events took place at the Gober Party House located at 1615 W. Ave. H.
Why it matters
These community events provide structured holiday entertainment tailored to specific age groups in Temple. The Spooktacular Soiree was relocated to the Gober Party House specifically because the Sammons Community Center is currently closed.
The Boo Bash serves children ages 3-6 as part of its 15th year of operation, while the Spooktacular Soiree enters its 2nd year as a gathering for local senior citizens.
