Halloween Party

The post Halloween kid’s party was a success today.  We had 11 kids and 25 total people.  Some of the costumes were great.  We had 7 cakes donated for the cake walks, and 1st through 3rd in both the best costume and best decorated pumpkin.  All the adults thought it was great and thanked us for having this for the kids.  Thank you to all the members of both the VFW and the Aux that helped put this on.  Also thank you to all the guests that helped and made this as much fun as it was.  We look forward to having another one next year.
