We had the Sandybrook 3rd Annual Halloween Carnival on Saturday Oct 28 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm. Our goal for this, was to have a fun and safe carnival / festival event for kids and adults. We did have a fun and very successful event this year. Lets make next year's carnival be the biggest and best yet. If you enjoy Halloween like I do, I need your help to make this a success. I enjoy making people laugh and I also like to scare people. Halloween is my favorite day. Its legal to scare little children and mommy and daddy and laugh all the way to my grave. BOO! I am inviting you the people of this here neighbor HOOD to join me and to have lots of fun in this here park of yours. Don’t forget to bring your bestest friends. Join the fun.
We want to thank everyone who helped with the carnival. This was our biggest carnival. It could not have been done without the people who helped and donated items.

We had people from the Meadowbrook News taking photos. Our NPO would like to bring in people from other neighborhoods next year to let them see what we do to help them to do something similar in their neighborhoods. They all were impressed with the carnival and the turn out.We need many volunteers to help with games, a spook trail, and other items.

You will not have to volunteer for the entire time. Thank you to everyone that helped with this carnival.
