Halloween Party

October 24, 2006

Boys really got into planning out and executing this project. A lot of work went into the many scary components of the Walk down the Haunted Stage. Afterwards the boys provided the young women and their leaders with and fitting scary dinner. Menu had Pumpkin loafs turned into chili bowls. These really looked cool. And of course, desserts. The young lading all dressed us very fitting to the occasion. After dinner the boys had a costume judging and provided prizes.
