Sheraden Spooktacular
On Saturday, October 28 the Sheraden Community Council organized our community’s annual Halloween celebration. The Sheraden tradition of putting our young children’s safety first by celebrating in daylight continues.
The children gathered at the Sheraden United Methodist Church parish house and received their numbers for costume judging. They paraded along Chartiers Avenue to the community pavilion. There they marched past the judges according to their various age groups and proceeded thru the line of tables where they picked up treats from the various community groups, businesses and neighbors. The children picked out a few books for their personal library and made a book marker for them.
Each child was able to pick a pumpkin to take home to carve. Judges announced the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each category.
Thank you to the Community Council, Sheraden Neighbors, Sheraden United Methodist Church, councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith, County Controller Corey O’Connor, District Judge Nick Martini.
