MOUNTAIN News:

Mountain Elementary School’s Annual Halloween Carnival has a new day and time, 4:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17.

This is a week earlier than previous years and the start time is a little earlier for families with little ones. Weather permitting, game booths will be outdoors on the upper playground.

The carnival began in the 1970s as a safe and fun alternative to trick-or-treating. This year, the festivities include the popular haunted house, book fair, cake walk, face painting, game booths and prizes. Tickets are $5 for 20; games are three tickets each, cake walk is four tickets and haunted house is five.

Chuck’s Wagon will be on site for dinner and treats. Come see what’s new. All proceeds benefit the students of Mountain School through the PTA.
