[Friend of Ringgold Park] are excited to announce that the planning for the annual Friends of Ringgold Park Halloween Party has begun! It is already shaping up to be a wonderful night for the community. We hope you and your family will join us!
The festivities will begin on Saturday October 31st at 4:30 p.m. and the costume parade will worm its way out of the park and down Waltham Street at 5:30 p.m. We will have Waltham Street blocked off for the event so you can count on safe trick or treating for the little ones.
We are lucky to have generous neighborhood sponsors that donate delicious food, but we also need help from the community to fill out the menu. In light of the candy to come later in the evening, we particularly welcome savory treats. Veggie trays, hummus, chips, dips, pretzels, popcorn in small bags have been favorites in years past. We look forward to any fresh ideas as well.
Finally, we need volunteers to assist in the pre-event park cleanup, decorating, and post-event clean up tasks on Halloween day. Morning cleanup will begin at 9:00 a.m., park decorating and set up will begin at 2:30 p.m. and clean up can begin as soon as the parade leaves the park at 5:30 p.m., and will extend on into the evening. We promise it will be a fun and gratifying way to get involved and spend some time with your neighbors.
We can’t do it all on our own! If you can lend a hand with food, decorating, or clean up, please email Elfa Gretarsdottir at elfatholl@gmail.com. Please put “Ringgold Park Halloween: Food, AM Cleanup, Decorating, or PM Cleanup” in the subject line to help us keep track of volunteers.
Please direct any other questions to Becca Schulman at beccaschulman@gmail.com.
We are looking forward to seeing you and your family in all your Halloween glory!
