IF YOU’RE into ghosts and gouls, there was plenty for you to see and do over the weekend as St Arnaud and surrounds got into the Halloween spirit.
From trick-or-treat trips around town to a decorative lunch and party in Paradise, there was plenty to keep everyone entertained.
Community lunch gets in spooky spirit
THE St Arnaud Community Kitchen was taken over by cob webs, a few spiders and themed food in last month’s event.
Organisers were excited to get in the spooky spirit, saying they “hope it will bring a bit of a smile to everyone’s faces”.
Trick or treat trail ‘wows’ town
THE main word to come out of Megan Cummings’ mouth after her Halloween was just “wow”.
After all the hard work getting her own house decorated for the occasion, it was great to see so many getting involved again this year.
“It was so great to see so many spooky faces and amazing costumes out and about,” she said.
“Thanks also to everyone who visited and supported all the houses that went to such incredible effort to make Halloween fun for everyone.
“Your participation makes it all worthwhile.”
While Ms Cummings said while they were “difficult to choose”, winners of the decoration competition were 24 North Western Road, followed by 4 Long Street and 12 Preece Street.
They also managed to raise $209.50 for Hallowish.
Paradise Hall-o-ween party a hit for all ages
EVERYONE had a “fang-tastic” time at the Paradise Hall-o-ween party on Saturday night.
Co-organiser Jodie Clarke said around 40 children and more than 50 adults joined in the festivities, which was their best turn out yet.
She said the costumes were “out of this world (and the underworld)”.
“Our costume parade was a real showstopper.”
