In this episode, you'll learn:
- The History of Monster Month: The tradition started when local artist Tim Burton began mounting creepy monsters on buildings downtown Elora, which eventually grew into the huge event it is today.
- The "Monster Spa": The monsters are pulled out of storage in the summer for a "spa treatment," where volunteers repair them.
- Key Events: Monster Month features a variety of activities, including the Awakening, Monster March, Pumpkin Day, and the Soup-Off.
- How to Get Involved: Sensational Elora, the non-profit organization that runs Monster Month, relies on volunteers and donations to support the events and raise money for the food bank.
