For the twenty-fifth straight year, Rosedale Neighbors and the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council are sponsoring a Halloween Party for all the children in the neighborhood. Art Santen is once again organizing this event which will take place on Halloween, Saturday, October 31 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in St. Roch School gym prior to Trick or Treating. Santen is looking forward to seeing familiar faces as well as meeting many youngsters who attend for the first time.
There will be prizes for the ten best costumes. Harold Russel, a magician, will entertain the children. Santen hopes that many youngsters attend the party and enjoy the entertainment and refreshments before they go door-to-door in search of many treats. Santen and the SDCC offer the following advice for trick or treating: 1) If your child is under 10, please accompany him or her. 2) Check costumes for fire-proofing, mask for visibility, and costume for hemlines. 3) Highlight dark costumes with reflective material. 4) Have children carry flashlights. 5) Encourage children to introduce themselves, say thank you, stay on the sidewalk, and put wrappers and papers back in their sacks. No littering please. Better yet, wait to check candy after you return home for signs of tampering. Trick or treating ends at 7:30 p.m. Happy Halloween.
