Councilmembers to Host 2nd Annual North Ward Halloween Party

NEWARK—Branch Brook Park will again be the site of one of Newark’s grandest soirees. Municipal Council Members Carlos M. Gonzalez, Anibal Ramos, Jr., and Mildred C. Crump present the 2nd Annual North Ward Halloween Party at the park’s Three Diamonds Baseball Complex Visitor’s Center. Last year it was estimated that over 1000 people attended the event.

This year’s party will feature music and games, prizes, treats for all ages and pumpkin picking. “We must take the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate those things that bring us together as a community. We have so much to be thankful for and this party allows us to express our gratitude for the blessings we have received while providing a safe place for our children,” Councilman Gonzalez said.

Councilman Ramos seconded that notion. “Our second annual Halloween event gives us a unique opportunity to provide for an afternoon of fun for children in our area. The goal of the event is to provide an organized safe haven for local families celebrating Halloween,” Ramos said.

Come one; come all on Wednesday, October 31, from 3:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., to the Three Diamonds (formerly known as Four Diamonds) Baseball Complex Visitor’s Center in Branch Brook Park. Food, fun and a rollicking good time await all who dare.
