Halloween is coming, Leavenworth Road Association is getting ready. We are fortunate to have Wyandotte County Parks and Multiply Church to team with us for a Funtastic event.

The entire Eisenhower Center will be devoted to making it a fun and safe place for kiddos, games, hot dogs and treat tables. The event will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31.

The treat tables are a way for organizations, schools, churches, businesses and families to sponsor a “treat table,” and have a sign showing they are a big part of the event. We ask that treats being handed out are individually wrapped, costumes are not frightening and no masks are allowed. Tables are provided for the sponsors, signs will be provided if needed.

Last year there were 17 treat tables and Santa showed up to check out who was being good or bad, and found all to be good kiddos.

There will also be free hot dogs to the first 350 trick-or-treating youth.

To reserve a treat table or more information, call the Leavenworth Road Association office at 913-788-3988 or email us [email protected]

Lou Braswell is the executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association.
