Halloween Parade Highlights

Yes, it did rain....
And, yes, it was a bit cold....
BUT neighbors and friends in our community STILL showed up in large numbers (more than 50 kids signed up!) to participate in Oaklyn Hills' first ever Halloween Parade!


With wagons, various props or umbrellas in hand, the group of costumed kids, parents and siblings marched (or rode) down Rolling Hills Drive and up part of Rolling Rock Trail to the dead end.



Onlookers peered out windows or stood on the sidewalks to watch and cheer on -- or even bark for -- the parade participants.


The parade's completion held more surprises with a bake sale, snacks, drinks, craft tables... and a costume contest for ages 0-3, ages 4-8 and ages 9-13.



One boy and one girl from each age group won a special prize for their great costumes!
(Here are Alex as Mickey Mouse and sweet Little Bo Peep!)

(Landon and Kenzie pose as a very realistic dragon and a "bat witch.")

(With very creative costumes, here are Kayla as Mac & Cheese and a clever scuba diver!)

Oaklyn Hills Halloween Parade

With nearly half of the month of October gone already, Halloween is quickly coming our way! And that means our neighborhood Halloween parade will be here before you know it!
So get your favorite costumes picked out for your kids... and your pets... and sign up to join us for some festive fun!


The Halloween Parade will take place on Saturday morning, October 31 (Halloween day). Participants will need to be ready to go by 10am at 520 Rolling Hills Drive. The route will follow Rolling Hills Drive to Rolling Rock and finish at the dead end. Parents, kids and pets may walk the parade route or ride in their own wagons or carts. As well, we will plan to have a few trailers for folks to ride on.

Along with the parade, we will have some fun costume contests for various age groups and categories. And immediately following, there will be a BAKE SALE as well as snacks and crafts for the kids! (Proceeds from the bake sale will support the common area! And we need lots of volunteers to make goodies for the sale... and plenty of people to buy goodies to take home after the parade!)

We need to hear from ALL participants -- parade and/or bake sale -- by Monday, October 19. (E-mail the event committee at oaklynhillseventcommittee@gmail.com)

We're looking forward to a treat!
