By Amy Kilgore

Kure Beach, NC - Space is filling up quickly at The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher’s eighth annual “Trick or Treat Under the Sea” on Wednesday, October 27 and Thursday, October 28. Businesses and individuals still have time to purchase a booth and have their product seen by over 3,000 visitors.

The event, also known as TOTUS, features indoor trick-or-treating for children from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Sponsoring a booth is a wonderful way to promote your business by interacting with families in the community at this fun and popular event. Vendors can also win prizes for their decorating efforts.

Booth space is available for $75 per day. A $10 discount is offered to vendors who book both days. Vendors may attend one or both nights. Sponsors decorate booths and provide enough treats for the several hundred children expected each night. Sponsors bring their own tables, decorations and power cords.

Booth sponsorships are available first-come, first-served. For more information or to register, call Special Events Coordinator Terry Bryant at 910-458-8257 ext. 218 or 202.
