As a real estate agent in Newfoundland, I’m not just concerned with MLS listings, mortgage calculators and open houses. I’m also deeply invested in the community and in the families I help along the way. So I’ve compiled a list of upcoming Halloween events in and around St. John’s for you and your family to enjoy. Please let me know if I’ve missed any!
October 25 – Pumpkin Carving
At the Rotary Paradise Youth and Community Centre on 68 McNamara Drive, come out and make your best jack-o-lanterns yet. Families can work together, or children can carve their own. Enjoy hot dogs, popcorn and prizes, too.
October 26 – Mardi Gras
The 2013 George Street Mardi Gras is the only event on my list that’s not meant for children, but it’s so much fun for adults I had to include it. Get dressed up (there’s a costume contest with a $10,000 prize!) and enjoy a good party, featuring musical guest Kelly Ann Evans.
October 27 – Halloween Family Skating Party
This Sunday in CBS, come to the Robert French Memorial Stadium at 1pm, and skate in your costumes. Prizes and treats will be given away.
October 28 – Pumpkin Carving
If you missed Friday’s pumpkin carving in Paradise, come on down to the Kinsmen Centre in Torbay. From 7-9pm, they’ll provide the pumpkins!
October 30 – Trunk or Treat
Kids can’t have too many opportunities to collect candy, so come to the Jack Byrne Arena from 6-7pm for this free event. Get dressed up, and trick or treat from various trunks of local business owners. Rain or shine.
Of course, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for some nice weather on Halloween. I’m wishing all my clients and friends a safe and happy holiday, and hope you get to enjoy some of these events in our community. And as always, if you have any questions about real estate in Newfoundland, don’t hesitate to call me anytime at 682-0744.
