Scary! Spooky night works treat

HUNDREDS of spookily dressed  children took to the streets last Thursday more interested in treats than tricks for Halloween.
Spiderwebs and danger tapes helped guide more than 150 youngsters around Inglewood Recreation Reserve.
“That’s how many we had registered but there were more,” said an organiser of the annual parent initiative, Kathryn Paton.
“It all started for just my family a few years ago, then I invited some friends and now the community has really embraced our Halloween hunt.”
Kathryn said the atmosphere had grown each year “and families love it”.
In Wedderburn, members of the Country Women’s Association branch dressed as witches and handed around baskets full of sweet treats.
Youngsters also took to the streets in search of more treats, homes leaving out a pumpkin or being draped with spiderwebs as a sign that trick or treaters were welcome to knock on the door.
