Halloween at Ringgold Park

From the Friends of Ringgold Park:

Believe it or not, Halloween is around the corner! Come join the fun at the Halloween celebration in Ringgold Park, starting at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31st. Sponsored by the Friends of Ringgold Park, the party will feature food, games, color your own loot bag, music, and other activities, and Halloween favors for kids of all ages. At 5:45 p.m., party-goers will take part in a short costume parade around the block to show off all our terrific costumes.

If you'd like to help with the party, here are some areas where we need participation; please contact ringgoldpark@verizon.net for more information and to volunteer:

1. FOOD: Savory rather than sweet snacks would be much appreciated... we're guessing the kids will have plenty of candy this evening and some won't get home for dinner before trick-or-treating. Hummus, vegetable trays, cheese and crackers, sandwiches, and other appetizers would be terrific.

2. DRINK: It's usually a bit cool that night, so we need hot cider, coffee, and drinks for the kids.

3. SET-UP: We're looking for volunteers to assist with setting up decorations and activities, beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the park.

4. FOLD-OUT TABLES: We desperately need tables -- do you have one you could loan for the evening?

5. CLEAN-UP: Following the party, stay 15-20 minutes afterward to tidy up and keep Ringgold beautiful. This is one of the most important jobs we have -- please consider helping out that evening!

6. FINANCIAL SUPPORT: The Friends of Ringgold Park rely on your contributions to support terrific get-togethers such as this. We will have a donation pumpkin at the event and coloring sheet pledge forms; if your family could help, it would be very much appreciated. All donations to Ringgold park are fully tax-deductible.

Thanks so much to all, and we look forward to seeing you at the park!
