But the fun doesn’t stop there! Our virtual celebration culminates in an in-person Halloween-themed TonnerFest Gathering on October 18th and 19th at Turn of the Century Antiques Doll Shop in Denver, Colorado. This magical celebration honors Ellowyne Wilde's favorite holiday—Halloween—and her birthday! The festivities kick off with a spooky Friday night soiree with Robert Tonner, featuring a welcome reception and an early birthday celebration for Ellowyne.
The next day, get ready for a spooky yet delightful experience at our themed catered luncheon in a Haunted Mansion, just steps from the doll shop! Enjoy a dessert bar, candy bar, engaging programs, prizes, and a lively costume contest, all while surrounded by the eerie charm of the mansion. Plus, don't miss the special opportunity to have your dolls signed by Robert Tonner himself. This beautifully transformed Haunted Mansion offers a one-of-a-kind experience, blending the magic of dolls with the fun and thrill of Halloween!
