Candy awaits young trick or treaters, who are busy making last minute decisions such as whether to dress up as the Wicked Witch of the West, Smurfette or Madonna. An old-fashioned hayride and a campfire were on tap 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, at the county government complex in Bolivia, a project of the Brunswick County Parks and Recreation Department. Feleciu Hardy was to tell ghost stories while listeners of all ages sat around the campfire roasting inarshmallows. For parents who would like their children to have an alternative to trick or treating at strangers' houses, Town Creek Baptist Church lias a free carnival planned for tonight (Thursday) from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. for children aged two to 12 in the fellowship hall. Free activities will include a lollipop tree, bean bag toss, fish pond, apple bobbing, and refreshments. Parents should make sure children who do go trick or treating observe safety rules such as carrying a flashlight, wearing bright reflective colors and staying awav from traffic as much as possible. Trick or treaters should only visit homes they are familiar with. io promote Halloween safety, Brunswick Hospital will X-ray children's candy tonight from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at no charge to detect harmful objects. Hospital spokesperson Betsy 1 -ewis pointed out the X-ray would only detect objects such as razor blades and pins, but not poison. Anyone wishing to have candy X-rayed should enter the hospital through the Emergency Boom door at the rear and ask for assistance. Halloween is the day before All Saints Day (Nov. 1), observed in Homan Catholic and Anglican churches as the day to glorify Cod for all saints, both known and unknown. In medieval England the day was known as All Hallows; the day before was called Hallows' eve, and eventually known as Halloween. Many Halloween practices, such as bobbing for apples, can be traced to the Middle Ages. The ancient Celts regarded Nov. 1 as the first day of winter, and they observed practices such as fortunetelling and building bonfires on the day now known as Halloween. v.' ; MAlf fHOtO^ ir Ci' Alt (nf )I IO'& of Odell and Jean Bt-nlon of Shollotti- Point u a fifth grader at Shallutle Middle School. lake This Her st Christmas Ever!
