-Try creating cobwebs on your porch by stretching out some cotton
-Fill a cauldron with dry ice and add some hot tap water this will create a rolling fog that will take your party up a notch
-Blackout! Replacing your lights with blacklights for the night will definitely set the mood for your Halloween party
-Use wine goblets and votives for some eery lighting throughout the house

Philadelphia skatepark ground-breaking
Franklin’s Paine Skatepark Fund, the nonprofit raising money for Paine’s Park, received $1 million from the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department, helping green light the $4.5 million project, organizers said. The commitment calls for releasing $500,000 this year and the balance over two years, said Parks and Recreation Commissioner Michael DiBerardinis.
Paine’s Park will be on 2.5 acres near the Schuylkill Banks bike path, situated between Eakins Oval and the Schuylkill River. It will be free and open to the public.
“The City of Philadelphia is committed to increasing recreational opportunities and public green space for residents and visitors,” said Mayor Michael Nutter. “Paine’s Park will not only enhance the landscape around the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, it will become a destination.”
With this donation, the project has the necessary $4.5 million to move forward. Organizers will continue to raise money for an endowment and ongoing maintenance.
The Paine’s Park project has been in the works for more than five years — dating to former Mayor John F. Street’s designation of land for the skatepark in lieu of skateboarders riding in LOVE Park. The effort was delayed by a funding shortfall and the recession.
This donation put the project in motion.
“The continued support from the city is a testament to the impact that we believe Paine’s Park will have on the region,” said Claire Laver, executive director of the Franklin’s Paine Skatepark Fund. “We’re preparing to re-engage our architects and engineers to finalize the plans and specs, secure all necessary building permits, and prepare the project to bid.”
A master plan developed by Franklin’s Paine and the parks department calls for as many as 10 smaller skateboard parks around the city.

MCAB Spring Golf Outing 2011
This past Spring, The KB Experience planned a great event for the Montgomery County Association for the Blind. Supporters of MCAB came together for a round of golf at Sunnybrook Golf Club to raise funds for the nonprofit. The outing was successful in raising money to help MCAB continue to provide help the blind in Montgomery County.
It was also a great opportunity for attendees from the Philadelphia area to network and build contacts while supporting a great cause. Golfers joined up in foursomes for a shotgun start. Because of the great weather they were able to get in a full round of golf and enjoyed the course at Sunnybrook Golf Club.
Included in their round of golf was a blind putting challenge. The attendees were blindfolded and asked to put a ball, a great way to show their support for MCAB and their mission!
A cocktail hour and dinner reception followed to fuel the hungry golfers. During cocktail hour there was a silent auction featuring a ton of great finds from the Philadelphia sports teams. This was a great way to raise more money for MCAB and for attendees to be able to take home a souvenir from all of their hard work golfing. Overall the event was a great success in rallying support for the Montgomery County Association for the Blind and to raise money to help them keep on with all of the great things they do in the community.

5th Annual Age of Augustus Toga Party- June 4, 2011
Age of Augustus recently hosted their 5th Annual Toga Party to raise funds for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. This great themed fundraiser was a huge success and a fun event to attend. We held the party at the Fairmount Boathouse with the scenic Schukyll River as a backdrop.
Everyone danced the night away to the music of Satellite Hearts, a local Philadelphia band who kept the music upbeat and everyone moving. And, with Mother Nature at our side, the attendees were able to take a break and cool of outside and enjoy the great riverview.
The food, catered by Triumph Brewery, tasted as good as it looked. The myriad of hors d'oeuvres kept everyone full and happy all night long. To compliment the great food Barefoot Wines, one of our sponsors, donated a variety of wines that were a great addition to the open bar.
The Toga Party was successful in meeting its goal to bring people together in support of the Marines and to raise money in support of the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. At the end of the night everyone walked away with great memories and experiences and a sense of camaraderie in joining together to support a great cause.
If you missed the event, Heart of Philly covered it and the video can be seen below!
Like what you see? Come out for next year's Toga Party that will be held in early June at Fairmount Boathouse. Be sure to check back later for more details about the event!

Super Adoption Day- May 22nd, 2011
On May 22nd, 2011, Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia hosted their 2nd Annual With Love Super Adoption Day. With the goal of raising awareness and fundraising to help put the No-Kill Policy in effect, Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia was met with huge success and had hundreds of people come out for this great event.
As the largest adoption event in Philadelphia's history, Super Adoption Day brought together over 100 unique vendors, dozens of rescues, live music, and animal lovers from all over the area.
We transformed the outdoor open space venue at the Piazza at Schmidt's in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia to bring together animals and people from all walks of life. Many people went home with a new rescue, but everyone left with a greater appreciation for what these animals go through and the work Citizens for a No-Kill Philadelphia is doing to try to stop it.
