HOBGOBLINS AND GHOSTS, BLACK CATS AND BRIGHT-EYED PUMPKINS all spell Halloween. Ghosts, fairies, witches and spirits are Halloween traditions carried down to us by the Druids. Celebrations and parties are a 'natural' for this holiday. Often thought only a time for children to have fun, Halloween can be a wonderful occasion for an adult party, too. By all means, have the party a costume affair.

Congratulations to the Girls on winning their Sectional game against Keshequa!
