What a fabulous Halloween turnout! Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated Halloween with the Lions Club, Rainier ROCS & the Girl Scouts! Hundreds of children and their parents came and celebrated Halloween in the Park! AMAZING!!! AWESOME!!!! THRILLING!!!!!
When we first got to the park, it was about 3:30 PM. Brenda, a couple of students, George and I were there. George said, "I don't know. I hope this turns out well." Four-thirty arrived with Art and Charlotte Runyan. George was getting a little nervous. "Where is everybody??"
They must have heard George, because a steady stream of people started arriving, bringing their treats and decorating. The Girl Scout leader, Cindy, already had the Tee-Pee up. There were bales of hay and the bean bag & duck pond games. Pretty soon there were so many people there we lost count!
Froggy Trader, Main Street Cookies, Rainier ROCS, Pupper's Pet Supplies, Rainier Sportsman's Club, Rainier Lions Club, Rainier Girl Scouts, Detrick's Farm & Chicken Coops, Rose's Homes, Bikini Bottoms & Retro Candy Shope, Rainier Cub & Boy Scouts, Mayor Randy Schleis & his wife Kathy........
Then the families came. They came in waves.
We had a wave during the daylight. Then at dusk - we had another wave. When it got DARK and spooky - we had the final wave of older children. We went through enough cookies for 150 people and candy for 300 children. Some of the businesses left when they ran out of treats. We ran out at the very end and left at 8 PM.
We heard thank-yous from parents and children alike. Joy and laughter filled the air all evening long. What a great break from Trick-or-Treating - to stop buy, get a hot cup of coffee or cocoa to warm up your hands, while your children played, or got treats.
