Stuff you want to know for the coming weekend…

One of the highlights of the year is the elementary school's costume parade through Town at one pm on Monday. See you there!

Do you have this on your radar?

• The Halloween Parade for the elementary school is set for next Monday at 1pm through Town…don’t miss it!

• You know the Greenway neighborhood is having some street repair, right? Might want to factor that into your plans for trick or treatin’ on Monday night….

• On Saturday, there are Halloween Parties at Herb’s Tavern (with The Tease playing) and at The Rumor Mill (who feature the Chameleons.)

• Meanwhile, Alyssa Hallock tells me there’s a special get-together on Halloween Monday:

Calvary Chapel San Juan (on the corner of Guard and Tucker) is putting on a concert featuring The New Divide Halloween night at 7:30, admission is free and the event will include a personal message from Pastor Joe Gamez entitled “From Grunge to Gospel”. If you could include this information on your website it would be greatly appreciated and provide a safe alternative for teenagers on Halloween night.

• And…this year’s Island Rec Teen Night will be at the bowling alley:

Teens! Grab your friends and get your costumes ready for this year’s Teen Black Light Bowling Halloween Party at Paradise Lanes! FREE pizza and bowling! Costume contests, prizes and more…7:30-9:30 pm, October 31st, OPEN TO AGES 13 & UP.

And…by the way – Rebecca could use a hand with chaperones. Got some time? Call her at 378-4953.

• Meanwhile, the annual Harvest Festival is on – here’s more from Kris:

It’s a safe, kid-friendly, family-oriented alternative to scary Halloween parties. Our goal is to provide a safe but fun place for toddlers, preschool & elementary age children to experience the fun of trick-or-treating without the crowded streets & scary costumes of older kids.

Started as a Harvest party more than 20 years ago by Islands Community Church, this year we are moving to town with the help of volunteers from:
• Calvary Chapel SJ • Christ the King FH • FH Presbyterian • In-Focus Family Ministries
• Lighthouse Preschool • Paideia Classical School • Transformation Assembly of God.
