Halloween Fun in Weston

Have you heard about Boo! at Bosceglie? This will be Moms in Weston's third annual Halloween celebration when kids (and adults) get to enjoy wearing their costumes in daylight. It will be held on Sunday, October 30th and is open to all families who are interested in joining our potluck playdate parade! The fun begins at 2:30 pm and ends at 4 pm (parade begins at 3:15). Each family brings a little treat to share and a goodie to give our trick-or-treaters as they parade around the park to stationed parents throughout the play area. It's free and a lot of fun. More importantly, we meet and greet our neighbors (who may actually live down the street from us)! The best part? Dads come out, too! To avoid bringing duplicate items, feel free to RSVP on the Facebook page or just show up with a little something to share (peanut- and nut-free please).

Leftover Candy?

No worries. Weston's own Lyn Milliman is known as the Halloween Candy Lady, and she collects the candy to send to our troops abroad. Read about where to drop off candy or funding for shipping in this . If your littles like to draw, have them make cards to thank our troops for serving our country. These can go in the shipments, too.

Have a safe and fun Halloween!
