The
2018 Hallow-Palooza in Heritage Park, the City of Taylor's biggest
Halloween-related event, was a huge hit and included tons of families and
students of the Taylor School District.
A
crowd of approximately 3,000 people -- over 2,000 of them children and over 90
percent residents of the community -- flocked to the event.
A fun new part of the event was a costume contest featuring Taylor High School students. The students dressed in colorful outfits and worked the crowd in the Sheridan Center for votes. The top vote-getter won a PlayStation 4 with unlimited days of play, and the new Marvel Spiderman Game (which appropriately went to Spiderman!).
Second place earned Beats Solo3 Wireless on ear headphones, and the third-place winner won a $100 gift card to Target.
The
ever-expanding Hallow-Palooza featured over 70 stops that gave away treats to
excited youngsters. Those stops included over 20 trunk or treat stations, the
Boo Barn at the Heritage Park Petting Farm and a row of car show-like
trunk-of-treat stations at the Taylor Conservatory & Botanical Gardens
sponsored by the Rotary Club of Taylor.
The
evening ended with a outdoor movie, Toy Story of Terror, in the Sheridan
Center. Also featured were bounce houses, music, a pumpkin-carving
presentation, and the Taylor Firefighters Pumpkin Patch.
Sponsors
of the event included State Farm Ty Metgzer, McKinley Properties, State Rep.
Erika Geiss, Taylor CERT, Rotary Club of Taylor, Mancino's, Meijer, Taylor
Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and Shwedel Dental.
