Trick or treaters scare up some fun in Brewster and Pateros

Posted

PATEROS/BREWSTER – It was a hootin’ and hollarin’ good time to be a trick-or-treater in Pateros and Brewster on Halloween Day, Oct. 31.
Both cities held complementary events that gave youngsters and parents alike much to choose from in the way of safe, but still exciting, fun.
Trunk or Treat participants on Lakeshore Drive in Pateros and in front of the American Legion in Brewster were kept busy distributing treats from the back of vehicles.
Sweet River Bakery in Pateros held its annual costume contest while prizes were handed out in Brewster’s Legion Park for the scariest or funniest get-ups.
Alex Thomason of Thomason Law & Justice in Pateros pulled out all the stops with animatronic and inflatable props, fog machine and fire engine to entertain visitors to his parking lot.
The Brewster-Pateros-Bridgeport Senior Center was hoppin’ with a chili feed, Weber barbecue raffle, pumpkin decorating contest and, of course, more candy for the kids.
Trick-or-treaters by the hundreds took their time working the business districts as many gradually made their way to the Brewster Boys and Girls Club where more games, treats and fun awaited them.
An extra added feature this year at the BBGC was a Haunted House erected across the entire width of the BBGC gym’s east end. The project was a joint venture by BBGC director Brian Paine and Brewster High School FFA advisor Todd Dezellem.
“We wanted to step up our game this year,” said Paine and the collaboration appeared to more than meet that mark.
Volunteers from BHS and FFA donned costumes and face paint to act as “greeters” inside the scary venue. For youngsters, it was a night of fun, and some fright, from the likes of which memories are made.
Hayrides around the park were offered outside the BBGC building.
