On October 30th from 4-7 pm, the Al Lenzmeier West Side Boys & Girls Club hosted their annual Halloween Carnival Party for 200 members and their families.
Members and their families had the opportunity to participate in several carnival games. One of the games offered was called the Guessing Game where they could guess how much candy was in the jar, and the person closest to the actual amount was able to take this home as a prize.
We also had a cake walk where members and their families could win cupcakes and other baked goods. Some of the other carnival games consisted of the witch hat ring toss, the clown bean bag toss, the pumpkin pond, pin the nose on the pumpkin, and mummy bowling.
One of our other features of the night was the West Side Village of Body Parts that was constructed by our members under the direct supervision of our Theme Coordinator, Laura Reyes. It is here where members had the chance to put their hand into the opening of each house and had to guess the body parts for a chance to win some candy.
While our guests played carnival games, we served freshly popped popcorn to our guests. Around 5:30 pm, we announced that a spooky dinner would be served in the cafeteria. Once our guests were seated we served hot dogs and macaroni and cheese to approximately 200 families.
After dinner was finished, our guests had the chance to play Super Bingo for prizes and even have their fortune read by Miss Samantha, our fortune teller. Special coupons were raffled off to guests for a free s'more that they could redeem on the outside patio.
I would like to extend a heart felt thank you to all of the people who made candy donations, as well as all the volunteers who came to help us run our carnival games. We could not have done this without you!
