October 31st, beginning at 6 p.m around Ellwood
City, many youngsters embarked on an important an unforgettable journey in their
young lives – a journey around the local neighborhood in search of the ultimate
goal – Halloween candy. As mothers wrapped up their children before sending them
off into the cold October night making sure they were warm enough in their
costumes for their two-hour tour, kids were itching to get off their own front
porches, find their friends, and begin to approach numerous other porches with
three words in mind – “trick or treat.”
From the first item dropped into the pillow sack
to the last porch light remaining lit, the two hours of trick or treating time
set aside for the Ellwood City community saw swarms of children roaming
neighborhoods masked in their favorite costume. Many lugging around pillow sacks
full of candy, the ultimate goal to gain enough candy that you are not able to
carry your bag anymore, resorting to dragging the bag along for the last leg of
the Halloween night.
Amongst the other festivities Wednesday night,
Park Gate Baptist Chruch sponsored a first annual “Trunk or Treat” event held in
Ellwood City’s Ewing Park. The event had vehicles, including a yellow school
bus, with tents gathered in one confined location handing out candy to masked
attendees.
The night would bring memories and stories for the
children to be shared at school the next day, from the rumored house that gave
out enormous amounts of candy to the house that gave out apples and boxes of
raisins (that is scary enough itself). Parents be prepared, for the large
amounts of candy your child horded in Wednesday night, a spoiled appetite or an
upset stomach may await as we have all found out… children love candy.
