CONQUERING THE FEAR FACTOR
Eating spiders, albeit gummy ones, was part of the "Fear Factor"-themed party Christy Vance threw for her son, Jack, when he turned 6 a couple years ago. Gobbling up the spider is Joe French, right, while Jack's brother, Grant, second from right, Gigi Kanarowski, in pink, and Mia Curtis, in green, watch.
What makes up a fun, but fright-free party at the Vance castle?
FOOD: Dirt cake with plastic bugs crawling on it and gummy worms on the side
GAMES: Spin the wheel to see which kind of baby food by color the player has to eat, followed up with gummy spiders
FAVORS: Treat bags with pens that were like caterpillars with squishy legs and plastic spiders and snakes.
