Our first change is to team up with Gleaner's Food Bank,  which supports local food pantry God's Helping Hands of Michigan, Inc.  We want to take this opportunity while gathering neighbors from the community to make Halloween at the Village a purposeful, yet fun event.  We are asking that participants bring five canned goods or non-perishable food as your entrance to the Halloween fun.  With that donation, you will get a wristband that allows you to participate in all the days activities...and we will be making a huge impact on stocking up the local pantry for the cold months ahead.  If you don't like to haul food to events, we will take a $5 donation instead of food for a wristband.  **Please note that 5 food donations is per child, with a maximum of 10 or $10 donation per family.

 2:00pm gather at the gazebo in Festival Park to hear a couple Halloween inspired kids songs performed by Lozier Music before we head to line up right outside Eddie Bauer back to Parisian for our annual Village Halloween Kids Parade.  At 2:30pm we will walk down the east sidewalk dressed in our costumes and end at Whole Foods Market for cider and donuts right in front of their store.  Then more fun begins with activities throughout the Village!
