Happy Halloween, Y’all!

24 Oct Happy Halloween, Y’all!

Halloween or Hallowe’en (a contraction of its original title “All Hallows’ Evening”), also known as All Hallows’ Eve, is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the eve before the Western Christian feast of All Hallows. According to some scholars, All Hallows’ Eve initially incorporated traditions from pagan harvest festivals and festivals honoring the dead, according to Wikipedia.

“Get in the spirit of Halloween, and dress up for our Halloween cocktail party next week,” invites Tommy Miller, Executive Director of Mount Vernon Towers. “We’ll have awards for best costume and most ridiculous costume, and we all get to share our favorite Halloween stories over some tasty treats.”

The public area of Mount Vernon Towers will be decorated for Halloween, and some residents enjoy putting up some seasonal pumpkins and witches as well to add to the festive mood.

The Halloween cocktail party will be held on October 31 at 4:30 PM on the Sun Porch. Happy Halloween!
