Goblins, ghosts, ghouls, and monsters gathered at Rosedale Neighbors’ 10th Annual Halloween Party. The entertainment started with movies furnished by Des Peres Library, and showed by Mr. Claude Bennett from the library. We were pleasantly surprised when Channel 11 saw the assorted characters arriving and came in to film them for their two evening news shows. The highlight of the night was the Tom Bonham Puppets presenting Wynken, Blynken & Nod.
Coffee and doughnuts to fortify the courage of adult trick or treaters was served as customary on the Rosedale barriers.
Winners of the Costume Contest were: Colin McPherron, Cowboy Joey Lange & Angie Lange, Tin Man and Dorothy Jessica Sloan, Chinese Girl Daniel Cohen, Butterfly Sara Greisbach, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Joyce Ward, Harem Girl Mac McKee, Rocket Liz Wright, Clown Julia Morris & Sandy Guzman, Daniel Boone & Indian Andrew Cross, Wounded Soldier
The party was co-sponsored by Rosedale Neighbors, Parkview, Washington Heights & Skinker-DeBaliviere. Jim and Sue Gamble graciously consented to the difficult judging job, and Andy Bender was an eagle-eyed crossing guard at Rosedale.
