Trick or Treat at the HAHA Museum Front Porch
Jack-o-Lantern Invitational
October 31 from 4:30 to 7 pm
Kids, teenagers and adults were invited to come in Costume! Everyone was welcome to stop by the HAHA front porch on Halloween for a treat, some spooky fun, and to learn a bit about the HAHA Museum.
Folks were invited to bring a carved pumpkin (or other squash) to display at the Jack-o-Lantern Invitational for bragging rights and enjoyment (no prizes this year-- maybe next year?), between 4:30 and 7 pm. Absolutely NO CANDLES allowed. HAHA had some battery-powered lights on hand.
Trick-or-Treaters and community members strolled through the Jack-o-Lantern display on their way to get a treat at the Museum front porch. Folks were asked to pick up the Jack-o-Lanterns by 7:30 pm; those left behind were sent home with a couple HAHA volunteers who each have chickens.
HAHA volunteer Tamara took photos of the Jack-o-Lanterns and those who come in costume, and posted them on Facebook and on this website. Enjoy!

We planned to have live music by the trio "Lessons Learned" with Floyd Gorsuch, Connie Gorsuch and Cheryl Janssens.
Hermosa Saturday Night --- HAHA's Annual Fundraiser
Postponed
Date to be announced -- from 5 to 8 pm
Hermosa School Gym
Food * Music * Live Auction * Speakers
Well, we had it all organized and confirmed until the COVID-19 pandemic put an end to gatherings in 2020. We planned a fast-moving Saturday evening of good food, toe-tapping music, some really nice items on our silent and live auctions, fun for kids, and two entertaining speakers.
We've held the auction items for a future sale-- tentatively set up for an online auction in spring, 2022-- and have added many new treasures. You can look forward to bidding on a blackpowder rifle, western art, western and local history books, commemorative South Dakota plates, and other items to be announced.
The group Lessons Learned played at an outdoor event in September, 2021, in front of the HAHA Museum. They were joined by another local band, The Hermosa Hillbillies. Read about it on the 2021 Events page.
