The Squirrel Hill Substation & Town Watch Task Force
have put together another fabulous
HAUNTING HALLOWEEN WALK
Start at the front steps of
4611 Springfield Ave
and walk past seven treat stations to exit by the back gate.
Cindy Preston has outdone herself this year. She has already prepared
thousands of candy and gift bags and has rounded up donations from the
PENN Dental School, Commerce Bank and McDonalds. Larry and I have
provided the use of our yard and card tables and decorated the seven
stations to create haunting interests. U.C.D. has agreed to provide
strong backs to move the sodas and treats into position and they will
also have volunteers help with crowd control at the front gate.
Volunteers including: Fonnie Rainey, Marty Cabry, Monica Roberts, Johnny,
Lindsay, Carol Beal, Tim & Carol Johnson & Joanne Black promise to arrive
in costume to deliver the treats and to add a little drama and some scary
moments to the evenings festivities. Here are the stations, so far:
#1 - Spook-tacular Ghost
1,000 Regular Bags of Candy
#2 - Marcus the Carcus
900 Cool Kid Toys
#3 - Big Orange Pumpkin
1,000 Bags of Chocolate Candy
#4 - Under the Drooping Orange Spider
2 Dental Students (truly scary volunteers)
with Tooth Brushes & Chip bag Clamps
#5 - The Family Ghoullery
(Portraits and Mirrors that talk back)
536 Coloring book with Crayon Sets or
COMMERCE Bank paraphernalia including flying discs.
#6 - Under the Rabid Bat
1,000 packs of cookies (donated by McDONALDS)
#7 - At the Haunted House (built by neighbor Nate Ross)
A soda for the first 576 kids who dare to reach in and
properly identify the gross bits and squirmy bugs.
In addition to the 7 stations, kids might enjoy looking around to find
all the different rats, bats, cats, owls, snakes, spiders and skulls
which are popping up in our garden this week. Also Larry and I will be
giving our own treats (full sized candies) out at our front steps.
Mary Ellen Cabry is expected to greet people at the front gate and will
have a few extra sacks for the kids who don't have one. Councilwoman
Blackwell and over 800 kids visited last year and we are hoping for good
weather and an even bigger turnout this year.
The doors open on Halloween, Sunday, October 31, 2004 at 5 PM.
We close at 7 PM or once we run out of treats, which could be sooner.
This is an all volunteer event.
All are welcome, but come at your own risk.
Know that paths are not even and folks will be distracted (maybe even
startled) by all the actors and props.
Happy Halloween!
