Yes I admit it, I cheated. As a member of the AllRecipes Allstar/Brand Ambassador program, we were asked to hold a party for Halloween. My hubby and I are 60/70 somethings, and the kids and grandkids are hundreds of miles away. We live in a very rural area and, in the twelve years that we have lived here, have never had one child come to our door on Halloween and say "trick or treat". So in order to fulfill this part of the program, I had to cheat. Luckily, it was a way to also complete another part of my life which is volunteering. Today, at our local Elks Lodge, we had our annual kids Halloween Party. I went to it camera in hand to record this day which was so much fun for all the kids involved. It is also a very, very, safe way for the kids to enjoy this day. A great time was had by all. Here are some of the pictures that I took.
Thesee are some of the treats that volunteers brought for the kids to enjoy. Fabulous cakes and cookies. The Elks also provided candy which was donated by members and other treats donated by various businesses in town.
My favorite part though was looking at all the little kids dressed up to enjoy the party. The volunteers set up different games, ring toss, miniature golf and others to provide entertainment for them and there were prizes given out for the best costumes. I bet you can figure out which one was my favorite.
A wonderful time was had by all, and we are now safely back in our homes until next year when we will do it all over again. I wish you all a very Happy and Safe Halloween.
