Allentown, PA (October 21, 2016): William Allen High School Club members and staff are hosting a Community Trick or Treat Night on Thursday, October 27, from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. The event is open to Allentown children up to 12 years of age. Cost of the event is $3/child; Free for children under 2. All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay of Life.
Children attending should wear their costumes – nothing too scary for the younger children – and bring a bag to carry their treats and prizes. The event includes activity tables with games, face-painting, tricks, treats, crafts, prizes, storytelling, and singing.
All children must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, grandparent, adult or older sibling.
William Allen High School is located at 106 North 7th Street. Entrance to the event is through the Blue Gates off Turner Street. This is an indoor event that will be held rain or shine.
