For some of us Tuesday was Trick or Treat and the rest of you get the pleasure tonight to hand out candy and other goodies. I remember some very cold years going out with my kids when they were young but this marks the fifth consecutive Halloween the temperature has been at least 60 degrees which is a nice bonus. Also parents have to be thrilled over the delay in the time change, making it much safer to stroll the streets with the little ones in tow.
We probably had around 200 trick or treaters Tuesday and for the most part they were very polite and very cute. Princesses seemed to be very popular for little girls with many young boys dressed as Spiderman and Batman. Of course the real little ones still opt for favorites like Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Elmo. There was also a fair share of cow girls, witches, devils, pirates, good and bad clowns and a few Hannah Montana’s’ sprinkled in.
A couple of upcoming events I’ve been asked to mention:
The New Jersey Ballet will be performing the holiday favorite “Nutcracker” at the OceanFirst Theatre in Manahawkin on December 16th and tomorrow they will hold auditions for Mother Ginger’s Clown Children. The auditions at the Stafford Township Arts Center will take place at 4pm and are for children ages 7-12 with ballet and/or gymnastic experience. You must register in advance by calling (973) 597-9600.
Ocean County College will honor four alumni-athletes and one coach at their
Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Dinner on Tuesday, November 13th at 6pm at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Lakewood. The 2007 inductees are Lorraine Farrell Airey, Barara Farrell Meyer, Eunice Farrell Pschorr, Cynthia Patton Stout and longtime coach Hy Mittelberg. For tickets and information you can call the OCC Office of Resource Development at (732) 255-0400. I will once again serve as Master of Ceremonies for the induction dinner.

This year we got around 15-20 kids. Compare this to last year which was several hundred. In 2005, we had roughly the same as this year. Up and down every year for us since 2000.
So much for by candy for several hundred kids :-)
Since now in Berkeley Twp trick-or-treat was moved 2 Oct 30th because of the "T.R. Halloween Parade" I got exactly 3 yes THREE kids. Not to sure if that is why but last year we did trick on Oct 31st--WHEN IT SHOULD B, and got about 200 kids. Halloween is Oct 31st lets keep it that way. I enjoy seeing all the kids in costumes...
