Spooky Halloween Party Left Nobody Forlorn :
’ Twas Filled with Food & Games & Much Candy Corn !
By Stephanie Matlock Allen Communications chair
On the afternoon of October 31 , a lively group of AWCH families gathered at the
Bauspielplatz in Eppendorfer Park . They brought creative food to share and amazing costumes to scare . Our own Holly Todd crafted Hollywood-worthy treasure hunts for both big kids and little ones .
The Halloween Committee worked themselves to the bone ( ha !) planning , decorating , coordinating , and cleaning up after the event . So how did they do ? Here are firsthand accounts from some of our young attendees :
It was fun . I liked seeing my friends , like Eloise . The Halloween costume contest was cool , and everybody had cool costumes . And I liked the treasure hunt and the pumpkin carving .
