Starport dares to scare on Oct. 25

2013-10-30

Just in time for Halloween, Starport gave Johnson Space Center families goose bumps on Oct. 25 during the annual Kids' Fright Fest Bash. In addition to activities to keep the little ones occupied and—maybe a little terrified at the same time—Starport also offered a “Spooky Spin” exercise class and NightMARE Run through a treacherous course littered with sinister obstacles. On the bright side, everyone made it out alive—and most with a smile.
