Month: October 2020

A safe, free, and fun way for your kids to spend Halloween in Alger Heights this year!

**NOTE: Due to rising positivity rates in Kent County, we have had to re-configure our event. Read below for more details.**

Join us at Seymour Church parking lot from 5-7pm for:

• Lots of candy at decorated, safely distanced tables
• Free books from Storytime in the Park and ZonderKidz*
• A take-home craft kit*
• Jazz music by Alger Heights’ own GR Groove band

(*while supplies last)

All children must be accompanied by a parent or trusted adult. Drop-bys are welcome, but to help us plan and cut down on wait times, please sign up today to reserve your spot!

There will be a suggested donation of 1 hygiene item per family for Take Two, a hygiene pantry run by Seymour Church. Visit the Take Two website to learn more and view a list of suggested items.

Parking is available across the street at Alger Middle School.

In case of rain, we will switch to a drive-through Trunk-or-Treat. Load up the kids in the car and come on over!

What We’re Doing to Keep It Safe:

• This is a walk-thru event only. Please plan to walk or park your vehicle at Alger Middle School. Entrance will be via Marshall Ave. There may be a line, be prepared to wait for entry.
• All volunteers will be wearing masks and gloves.
• We’ve transitioned from using multiple vehicles to several decorated/themed stations throughout our parking lot.
• Candy will be distributed in a no-contact way, with surfaces wiped down regularly.
• Physical distancing will be in place in all areas, with strict 6-feet-apart guidelines monitored by volunteers.
• Our event will have a one-way flow to minimize risk of proximity to others.
• We will be closely watching Kent County’s COVID-19 infection rate and will cancel the event if needed. Please keep an eye on our Facebook event page as well as this webpage for updates.
