Pagan Community Ministries held a fundraising event on October 29, 2011 at the American Legion Hall on Bardstown Rd. The event was not as busy as they would have liked, but was beautifully done. The decorations were extensive and included scary trees, a guillotine, an electric chair and a life size coffin in addition to smaller decorations such as spider webs, skulls, tombstones and lighting. There were about fifty attendees throughout the day, not including vendors.
In a city as big and diverse as Louisville, the options for trick-or-treating seem virtually endless. With so many unique neighborhoods and Halloween events at our doorstep, families may wish to explore new ways to celebrate this sweet tradition, and there's no better year than 2011 to try something completely different.
Halloween is objectively the darkest holiday of the year, and finding family-friendly events that allow everyone to enjoy the season is a mixed bag. Let's face it: some of the festivities for the upcoming weekend would scare even the stoutest of heart. Luckily for young families and children, the Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve in Goshen is once again hosting its delightful Halloween Harvest Party, a get-together that leaves no one out of the spooky loop.
Halloween falls on a Monday this year. Boo (not the scary “BOO!” but rather the disappointing and flat “boo…”). That means people who work the traditional M-F week will have to resort to dressing up and partying like a vampire this weekend instead.
If you have the costume and only need a place to go, head down to the Vernon Club, 1575 Story Avenue, on Friday, Oct. 28th where the Kentucky School of Art is hosting its 2nd Annual Halloween Party. After all, wasn’t Vincent Van Gogh one of the original slashers?!
