THORNHILL EVENTS S Who you gonna call…. Ghostbusters! aturday 28th of October was the annual Halloween event. The weather was looking precarious but despite this, residents turned out in droves and all dressed up in their Halloween inspired finest. The event commenced in the clubhouse with a reptile show. The kids screamed with glee and excitement as spiders, snakes and other animals were shown. Some could not wait to touch them while others made a quick retreat as the reptiles approached. The weather improved slightly allowing the magician to perform his mes- merising magic tricks on the balcony, where the kids and adults were all enthralled. Kids queued up to have a ride on the miniature steam train and all the kiddies were treated to candy floss, kindly sponsored by Remax, as well as a juice. Then it was time for the Trick or Treating! Maps were handed out and the kids, with many parents in tow, started their walk or drive around to estate to visit the many trick or treat stations. Thanks to all the residents who offered to host trick or treat stations and put so much time and effort into decorating their houses and tables. This event was so much fun and the kids were so excited and it would not have been possible without the awesome community spirit. Thanks to Chris from Funky Temple (www.funkytemple.co.za) for doing the reptile show for us at no cost. A big thank you to Vanessa from the Social Committee for assisting with the organization of the event. The next and last event of the year is the Christmas Party… see you there!
