Halloween Party

I am sure it is early to start thinking about Halloween, but is anyone interested in organizing a St. Thomas Halloween party? Costumes, trick or treating, pumpkin carving (if we can find pumpkins!), etc.?

This year Halloween fall on Monday, October 31st. Perhaps we could plan the event for Saturday the 29th or Sunday the 30th. We could have one large family event where everyone is welcome to dress up in a costume, share food potluck style and have activities like pumpkin carving, bobbing for apples, sharing (adult only) witches brew, and letting the kids fill their goodie bags with candy or we could just do something low key for the kids.

Please let me know what your thoughts are and I'm sure we can get something fun together.

Thanks,
Simone Capote
