This Halloween a couple of friends and I went out to a local community center to see what was happening. Kids, parents and young people were out in force to celebrate and the gym had been transfromed into a well lit carnival of games and contests of skill. We had fun playing Frog Toss Tic-Tac-Toe, Ping Pong Ball Bounce (the object of which was to bounce balls into bowls floating in a wading pool), and watching the Thriller dance team come to life to entertain us!
We posed for pictures, saw some spiff costumes including a kid in a robot suit, checked out the spin art table, and guessed how many Smarties were in the big jar by the door. No, we didn’t win, but it was a great way to spend the evening an no one got soaked wandering around Trick or Treating in the dark! Yup, I like the new Halloween. It reminds me of a spooky (but safe) night at Runt Farm. Apple cider anyone?
Here are some cool pix and a video of the Thriller peeps.
Thanks for writing such a thought-provoking post. Looks like a good read.
