Community Corner
YMCA Spooky Halloween Party
The Y will continue its annual tradition of welcoming the community for some frightful fun at its Fifth Annual Halloween Party on Sunday, October 28. The entire Y facility, located at 2705 Techny Road in Northbrook, will be transformed to provide a wide variety of Halloween activities suitable for all ages. The party runs from 2:00 to 6:00 pm, with exclusive early access for families of special needs children from 1:00 to 2:00.
The 2012 party will bring back many favorite elements of years past, including the spinetingling Spooky Pool Boat Ride. Guests with a lower tolerance for terror will enjoy indoor trick-or-treating, inflatable bouncy houses and obstacle courses, seasonal art projects, a DJ dance party, costume contests, and two haunted houses -- one kid-friendly and one extra-creepy. Snacks and refreshments will be available for purchase. Complimentary photo booths will provide souvenirs of each family’s visit.
Admission to the party is free for Y members, $10 per family for non-members. The Y is located at 2705 Techny Road, just east of Pfingsten Road, in Northbrook. Special black-and-white signs on surrounding streets direct visitors to routes that avoid Techny Road construction. For more information, visit 847 272 7250 or www.nsymca.org.
