The Casper Heritage Harvest Festival
The second part of A Folk Halloween Experience's mission (exhuming creativity is the first) is to restore community to our celebration of a more authentic Halloween.
To this end, the 2nd Annual Casper Heritage Harvest Festival seeks to benefit local community, youth, and non-profit organizations and worthy causes in order to restore community to our celebration of Halloween. Just like many who grew up here remark the annual parade has become one long advertisement, and hope to de-commercialize Halloween by reviving our older traditions, we hope the Casper Heritage Harvest Festival rekindles community in the Casper region and beyond.
On this page, you'll find information about the separate activities of our affiliated community partners who share our vision and are willing collaborators and partners who share our aims.

SCHEDULE OF COMMUNITY PARTNER
EVENTS
In order of our partnership in 2024
We humbly implore you to support A Folk Halloween Experience by choosing us for your Halloween shenanigans this year for a more authentic Halloween. None of these events organized to benefit community fundraisers could happen without A Folk Halloween Experience or Azriel Anthony's devotion of many dozens of hours to these side projects in helping to organize them.

Elks Lodge Ghost Hunt with Casper Ghostbusters
This paranormal investigation (aka ghost hunt) of one of the most notoriously haunted places in downtown Casper, WY, The Casper Elks Lodge, benefits The National Historic Trails Center Foundation as 100% of proceeds go to this worthy cause.
🎃 Join Us for a Spine-Chilling Ghost Hunt Fundraiser! 👻
Are you ready for a paranormal adventure? Help support the The National Historic Trails Center Foundation and uncover the supernatural at the Elk's Lodge in Casper, Wyoming (108 E 7th St, Casper, WY 82601) this Halloween season!
Hosted by The Casper Ghostbusters Ecto Interceptor Project, this thrilling ghost hunt promises to be an experience you won’t forget!
🎃 This event is tied to The Folk Halloween Experience! Azriel and the lead Casper ghostbuster are friends and share an interest in history and educating our community about local history through paranormal investigations to ignite an interest in history in the public interest of historic preservation of our oldest buildings and spaces.
Limited spots available, so grab your tickets now and prepare for a night of ghostly encounters!
Thanks to the generosity of The Casper Elks Lodge, the volunteering of time and energy by The Casper Ghostbusters Ecto-Interceptor Project, and ticketing provided by Theatre of the Poor through the partnership developed by Azriel Anthony, Bruce Berst, Gena Jensen, Nathan Soper, Lodge President Wendy DeGroot, and Connie Thompson, we raised $575 for historic preservation and awareness. Won't you join us, again?
Although it's the same building, it's never the same paranormal investigation.
The Theatre of the Poor 👈 is graciously hosting and sponsoring ticketing for this fundraiser for the second year in a row. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with unique live theatre experiences that leave you thinking they provide.
