Happy families embrace Halloween

AFTER another successful Halloween Trunk or Treat night last week, the All Ages Activities Committee are already planning for 2025.

High Street was filled with ghosts and monsters, fairies, witches, and lots of smiling faces.

“The night went beautifully,” said committee member Yaz Fisher. “The committee really pulled together.

“It was a really big turn out from all ages in the community and we saw a lot more homemade costumes this year.

“Next year, as Halloween falls on a Friday, we are planning to make it a bigger and better event for the community.

“We are hoping to go back to our original plan of hosting the event at the oval.

“This would make it safer for the community, with everyone in the one place and less road crossing involved.

“We would love to see more community involvement from anyone willing to help in any way they can. It would be great if we could get businesses involved.

“We love seeing local people and their businesses involved in community events and showcasing what a lovely community and town we have.

“Fingers crossed we can get enough people involved for Heathcote Halloween 2025 and make our plans come to life.”

Emily Alexandra said it was a smooth night for both children and adults.

“The event is very well run, and it is wonderful to see so many happy faces,” she said.

“Everyone is well behaved, and we have really enjoyed bringing our daughter Leonie out to enjoy the fun.”
