Rosedale Neighbors held it’s 13th annual Halloween Party at St. Roch’s Gym. Again the costumes were varied and original.
The 200 witches, goblins and assorted creatures were entertained by Mr. Tom Thale who performed a combination mime, juggling and magic act.
The costume prize winners were: – Ted Bynum Dog – Keelie Christman Robot – Dan Cohen Dragon – Steven Gioia Dracula – Aimee Gotway Blue Frog – John Gotway Green Frog – Laurie Gotway Stop Sign – Shanon Jackson Midget – Vito Lippi Witch – Greg Weir Mummy
During the trick and treating, coffee and donuts were served to the adults on the barriers at McPherson, Kingsbury and Westminster. Washington Heights joined this tradition and Shirley Polk served coffee, hot chocolate and donuts at Waterman and DesPeres. Albert Polk served as crossing guard for the children at that intersection. Rick Bender again served as crossing guard at Waterman and Rosedale.
The St. Roch Art class under the direction of Sharon Nelsen made the ID tags for the children. Roy Bell and Pat McLafferty served as judges for the costume awards. (Their beautiful one month old daughter did not compete for a prize.) A special thanks to Mr. Weisbrod for his generous gift to the Halloween Party.
