Harrowsmith S & A Club hosts goblins and ghouls

Jeff Green | Nov 01, 2019

For some time now, the Harrowsmith & District Social & Athletic Club has been hosting a Halloween get-together for kids and their families.

“I don’t know how many of these we’ve done but it’s an annual event and we’ve been doing it for at least 20 years,” said Marilyn Goodberry, one of the organizers along with Penny Lloyd, Jennifer Deline and Kim Deline.

Some things haven’t changed much over the years, including the games like bowling, pin the nose on the witch, arts and crafts and cupcake decorating.

One thing that has changed a bit in recent years is the number of younger volunteers they’ve been getting to help out.

“We have girl guides, some others just from the community,” Goodberry said. “And we love the students who ride those volunteer hours.”

Now that Halloween is done, November is shaping up to be a busy month at the S & A Club with Euchre on Nov. 9, a babysitting course on the 29th, a Chinese dinner/auction on the 30th all leading up to the annual Santa Claus Parade in December.
