The highlight of this year's gathering will be the "Spooky Spider Room," featuring renowned local arachnologist Dr. Bob Wolff, who is commonly known as Doctor Spider. Wolff will showcase live spiders from the Columbia area, including South Carolina's official state spider, the Carolina wolf spider (Hogna carolinensis).

Additionally, visitors can learn about the recent invasion of the Joro spider, which has sparked concern across the East Coast, as well as encounter various tarantulas on display.

"Join us as we welcome in the autumn spirit and create lasting memories together," said Deborah Harris-Sims. "We look forward to welcoming everyone to our campus for an evening of communal celebration."
