Ward Halloween Party

Saturday evening was our ward's Halloween Party for which Carolyn was responsible. Costumes were encouraged and we had some great ones. Carolyn managed to find some ribbon stickers so that everyone in costume won at least a ribbon.


There was also a competition for creative pumpkin carving. Although there weren't many entries, it appeared that they at least had fun doing them.


While people ate their chili-dogs and salad in the center of the cultural hall there were several activities taking place around the periphery of the cultural hall such as

a cupcake walk


fishing


and family photography



by our trusty and highly competent photographer.



There was even a table for the littlest kids to play with orange and "black" play dough using Halloween cookie cutters and to decorate a "haunted house" with stickers.

After the food, the games, and the contests, everyone was shooed outside for "trunk or treat". Everyone who stayed behind was drafted into the chore of cleaning up. With 10 people working, it went very fast.

The little ones visited the dozen or so cars that had been decorate and staged for the giving away of treats. This has become somewhat traditions now in our area. After Trunk or Treating, all were welcomed back to the rear of the church for hot chocolate.

We breathed a sigh of relief as the party was over and to all appearances very successful. We handled probably 50% more participants than expected but no one complained.

Now on to the next party!
