RE: Squirrel Hill Haunted Halloween
at 4611 Springfield (@ nec of Farragut)
Today, Friday 10/31/03 from 5-7 PM
They say no good deed goes unpunished...
First lots of folks E-replied that my Halloween message inspired them to
buy extra treats and to entertain, not be entertained, but one, Cynthia
Preston, coordinator of Squirrel Hill Police Substation and Vice-Chair of
the Town Watch Task Force called to enlist help finding a substitute
location for her Annual Haunt, normally held at the temporarily
unavailable Water Fall Park (at 48th & Chester). So I volunteered our
front porch, side yard and decorations and candy for 100's. Cyndy has
rounded up 1,000 Treat Bags plus Apples, Sodas and Gifts. And she
gathered donations of the time and talents of Joanne Black, Cora Jackson,
Lynnete Jenkins, Carol Johnson, Jackie Slaughter, Rita & Marty Cabry,
Fonnie Rainey and other Adults will help lead families through the
"Haunted" path beside our home. It should be a hoot. From front porch
to back gate is only about 120 feet but there will be five stations of
treats and haunts. So, it will be a lot of work and expense, but... if
our neighbors visit and bring their beautiful children it will be a Labor
rewarded by smiling faces.
This is the Eighth Annual Halloween Gala sponsored by Squirrel Hill and
led by Cynthia Preston. Anyone who has ever attended knows that this is
one of the events to experience for a complete UC Halloween.
I read with sorrow the story of Collingswood's Bruce Jackson, age 19,
weight 45 #s, foraging for food in trash. There is hidden hunger in many
places. Who knows what your treat will mean to a child or family.
University City is a magnet for Trick or Treaters because we are generous
and have a lot of innovative decorators and thespians. Many of us have
already enjoyed the magnificent Spiral Q parade and re-listed below are
some of the other events that layer to make our neighborhood Haute
Halloween.
