Base to celebrate Halloween on Oct. 30

  • Published
Halloween will be observed at Robins Saturday, with trick-or-treating from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Participating base residents should leave exterior lights on; those who do not wish to participate should turn exterior lights off.

Security Forces and volunteers will help ensure safety in the housing areas with their annual Pumpkin Patrol. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Staff Sgt. Angelo Corbin at 222-1992 or Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Aldana at 222-1994.

The 78th Force Support Squadron is also planning two other events Oct. 30 - a Scary Movie Night at the Youth Center from 7 to 10 p.m. and a Thunder Alley Halloween Party at the Bowling Alley from 9 to 11 p.m.

Events are also planned at the Base Exchange. A pumpkin-carving contest winner will be announced at 4 p.m. Entries should be brought to the store entrance by Monday.

Face painting and a balloon give-away for children 12 years and younger is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. It will be followed at 5 p.m. by a costume contest for children ages 1 through 12. Winners of the contest will receive gift cards. There will also be a cookie walk beginning at 5 p.m.

"Trick or Trunk" in the BX parking lot will start at 6 p.m.

People are asked to decorate their vehicles and park in a closed-off area, where trick-or-treating will be done at the cars. Gift cards will be given to those with the best-decorated cars.
