10th Annual Creepy Crawl

It’s that time of year again, folks! And this year is going to be even BIGGER and BETTER!

Every year the SanJac Coalition hosts the 6th Street Creepy Crawl. It is the biggest Halloween Festival the Amarillo area has to offer, and all of the proceeds benefit SnackPak 4 Kids and the SPCA. This year, 6th Street will be closed from Georgia to Carolina until 10pm. The event features fun and games for the entire family!

The NAT, along with The 806 Coffee + Lounge are now selling punch cards for the event (see below). Pre-sale cards are $7 now through October 30th, and $10 on Halloween! The event is FREE! Yes, you read that right - it’s FREE! Punch Cards are not required, but 100% of the proceeds of the sales go to charities, not to mention loads of discounts from different businesses all up and down 6th!

Do you want to join in on the fun? We are ALWAYS looking for volunteers for this event. If you’re interested in busking (grab those guitars!) or just handing out candy to the kiddos on the street, your help would be MUCH appreciated! Hop on over to The 806 Coffee + Lounge, or send them a Facebook message about how you’d like to help!

Tuesday Tip: Vintage Halloween

Who says that Halloween décor has to be scary? It’s possible to achieve a kitschy and fun look without everything screaming BOO! Our vendors here at The NAT tend to go all or nothing when it comes to Fall + Halloween décor, and we’d like to share tricks (and some treats) that we absolutely adore!

Birdcages

Whether you have a few crows you snagged at your local craft store or if you want to create a vintage “graveyard” look, vintage birdcages do just the trick! Add a tiny caution sign and you’re in business!

Jack-O-Lanterns

Vintage jack-o-lanterns are easy to find at most antique stores. Start yourself a collection and hang them in your tree for wonderfully weird yard décor!

Go Glam

Fairytale pumpkins are our FAVORITE! Stack them on your mantle - or even your front porch - for a whimsical and glamourous vibe.

Pumpkins

If carving isn’t your thing, you can create some amazing and unique looks with a little paint! A great craft to do with the kids as well.

Simplicity

Your home doesn’t have to look like the Great Pumpkin has taken over. Pick and theme, and stick to it! We’re loving this neutral bookshelf with the understated Halloween items.

Dolls

We understand that dolls aren’t for everyone, but this kitschy wreath is right up our alley! The vintage bottle wreaths stuffed full of vintage doll parts make our vintage-loving hearts happy.

Masks

Vintage masks have SO much charm! The bright colors make them stand out among other decorations, and they’re a great conversation piece! Impress your Halloween party guests with a creative idea like this!

Whether you’re looking for great decorations for your upcoming Halloween party, or if you’re looking for a vintage costume for 6th Street’s very own Creepy Crawl, The NAT has what you’re looking for!
