Fifth Annual Halloween "Scary-oke" Karaoke Party In Carroll Park Was A Blast

This past Friday evening, Friends of Carroll Park hosted their Fifth Annual Halloween "Scary-Oke" Karaoke party. Kids and adults alike took the mike to sing their favorite songs, dance, have fun while sipping hot cider.
Roberto Williams of Lion's Roar Karaoke once again brought out his catalog of over 10,000 songs, so that there was something for everyone and every taste, from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Elvis Presley. May I just say that here are some truly talented singers in Carroll Gardens?

Unfortunately, I missed the Carroll Park Halloween Parade the next day. Apparently, it was a huge success. Where you there with your kid(s)?

Special thanks to Bruce Mc Donald, one of the members of Friends of Carroll Park , who not only organized this Karaoke event, helped put together the Halloween parade, but also showed "The Nightmare before Christmas" on Friday night.
