Halloween is the best time of year for many kids (and grown ups too) and you have lots of options in Magnolia.  First up is the Halloween Carnival at the Magnolia Community Center on Friday, October 23 from 6 to 7:30p.m.  The event is free for kids up to 12 years old who bring a non-perishable food item to support Northwest Harvest.  There will be games, treats, a cupcake walk, pumpkin decorating and a donut dangle.  The costume contest will start at 7p.m. and this year there will also be pumpkin decorating for toddlers starting at 5:30p.m.  If you need more information, call the Community Center at 206-386-4235. 

 On Friday, October 30 the third annual Haunted House sponsored by the  Magnolia Mission Youth will be set up at the Magnolia Lutheran Church 2414 31st Ave West.  The haunted house is open from 4 to 6:30p.m.

The big Trick or Treat event in The Village is also on Friday, October 30 from 4 to 6p.m. on McGraw street.  The street will be closed to traffic so kids can safely collect lots of candy from Magnolia businesses.
