Halloween and Community Fun Day

We just had a big weekend...here's the highlights:

Community Fun Day was Saturday and it featured:
A high temperature of 50 degrees with 25 mph winds....BRRRRR!
Despite that, a record crowd of over 300 people...
Approximately 100 of those were costumed...
The Climbing Wall was the most popular activity...
Followed by Bingo...
Then Archery...
And then, the hotdog lunch...
Which featured an attempt at Bill's Hotdog's white bean chili...
There was ice cream and cookies...

Other news from Saturday included:
First migrant waterfowl and shorebirds appear in the Albemarle...
Auburn whipped Ole Miss in football...
East Carolina beat Tulane at Homecoming...
UNC won their game...
And NC State got trounced by Florida State University.

Sunday highlights included:
High Ropes with Edenton Baptist...
Lee Scripture painted his pintail decoy...

Today is Halloween, if you dress as a normal person you can tell people you are dressed as:
An alien from Earth...
A bourgeoisie member...
A Lands' End model...
An onlooker...

Halloween Tips:
Go with your children when they Trick or Treat!
Only accept factory wrapped candy...
Inspect your child's candy, and save some for yourself...
Make all family members brush their teeth two times...
Take a flashlight with you when you Trick or Treat...
Do not look for Tricks...treats only...
Wear plenty of clothes, and layer if possible...it will be cool tonight...
Only visit houses of those you know...
Avoid dressing children in costumes made of plastic that could cause breathing problems...
Ensure that face paints are non-allergenic...
Drive slowly in neighborhoods and watch carefully for other Trick or Treaters...
Ration your child's candy over the coming weeks...

Enjoy the day!
