Halloween Party and Pumpkin Patch 2023
A great big Thank You to Event Chair Brittany Smith, and also to Mary Wetterauer who recruited eight other Meadoway Park volunteers and donors, and to CHCA President Leslie Caruso who enlisted three other friends and family volunteers, all of whom provided a bountiful afternoon of Halloween-themed crafts, games and treats for our 2023 Halloween Party October 22.
Also, a hearty thanks to Cynthia McKenzie and her three other CYMACK volunteers, who in addition to handing out T-shirts and trick-or-treat bags, provided the pumpkin patch for our Halloween Party, consisting of 150 very sincere pumpkins, all of which had gone to good homes at the conclusion of the event!
The weather was seasonably warm and sunny, and we estimate that there were at least 150-200 costumed characters plus their adults (200 to 400 or so) who enjoyed the activities, including the six stations surrounding the patch which handed out treats.
The photos below were taken around 2:56 PM, right before the official start of the event at 3:00 PM, after which it seemed that all of Colonial Hills came over to the park for the festivities. The photographer couldn’t take photos during the event due to handing out candy at one of the stations, but can attest that there was joyous energy from the multitude throughout the event, overflowing when many of the kids literally ran from one activity and station to another!
Again, thanks to all the volunteers who made this another wonderful day in our neighborhood!
