Get Ready For The Children's Halloween Celebration In Carroll Park

oo

****UPDATE****

We're sad to report that this weekend's planned Halloween party has been called off due to the high wind and rain that's being forecast.

Unfortunately, even if the weather cleared by midday, we wouldn't have the time to get things properly set up (especially power and sound), and we don't have permits or volunteers to postpone by a day.

HOWEVER, we will set up outside the park house on Halloween from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., so come trick or treating for goodies including:

- Fresh fruit from Carroll Street farmer's market
vendor Fishkill Farms

- Daffodil bulbs courtesy of the
Daffodil Project at New Yorkers for Parks

- Rugrats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
giveaways courtesy of Nickelodeon

Plus we'll have music and maybe even a couple of games!

Even though we can't host a party this year, we hope to see you during your trick-or-treating rounds next Wednesday.

Friends of Carroll Park, the all-volunteer group that keeps everyone's favorite neighborhood oasis looking its best, will be hosting a great Children's Halloween Celebration on Saturday, October 27.

Gather around Carroll Park's World War I Memorial at noon, and then join everyone for games, prizes, treats, music, arts and crafts and many other activities in the Louis Valentino Ballfield.

Best of all, check out everyone's creative costumes. It will put a smile on your face.

Please spread the word.
