Put On A Scary Face; It's Carnival Halloween Costume Contest Time The celebration of Halloween and the Festival by the Sea go way back together. After all, the festival evolved from a children's carnival held every Halloween at the old Surfside Pavilion. This year, organizers of the annu al Festival by the Sea Halloween Carnival on Friday night hope to begin a whole new tradition, with a revamped carnival designed to fo cus on the popular Halloween cos tume contest, plus games, informa tion booths and a higger-than-ever raffle. The costume contest has grown in participation and popularity an nually. In 1991, 85 children com peted. I -iist year, 120 children from infants to 13-year-olds competed with a clever array of costumes ranging from the oh-so-sweet to the truly scary. Missing this year, and from now on, will he the haunted house, which carnival coordinator Martin Feldt said was scrapped because it was too scary for the little ones and too attractive to rowdy teenagers. Instead, there has been an im provement in the carnival games, a beefing up of the raffle, and the ad dition of information booths from such organizations as Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARF). the Optimist Club and Turtle Watch, Feldt said. This year's dozen or so carnival games will include darts, fishing, a pumpkin toss, Nerf basketball and something called the "duck pluck." Between 35 and 50 prizes will be raffled this year, as opposed to last year's 20. They will include fishing equipment, fishing trips, kites and meals in local restaurants. "It's a whole new look," Feldt said of the fair, which is "changed from this point forward." The games and information booths open at 6 p.m. Friday night at Tri-Beach Volunteer Fire De partment, Sabbath Home Road, off the Holden Beach causeway. If you're bringing little ones to register for the costume contest, come early. Registration is from 5:45 until 6:45. Signing up early will help organizers start the judg ing on time. The contest begins at 7 p.m. THE FIRST GOLF COURSE IN THE SOUTH BRUNSWICK ISLANDS 1BR1ERWODD CLUBi A Golf Course Community 18 HOLE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE Welcome to...
