Halloween at the Y Draws Record Crowd

The Valparaiso Family YMCA hosted their “Halloween at the Y” with a record crowd. Over 500 children and their families enjoyed boat rides across the Haunted Swamp, where scary swamp creatures awaited them.

Visitors to the Haunted Hallway were greeted by vampires and mummies as they walked past a haunted grave yard and mausoleum. Rounding out the evening for all ages were carnival games, a costume judging contest, crafts, a storyteller, refreshments and a cake walk. Numerous volunteers from throughout the community came together to create this annual family event.

Families are invited to the next Y event, Breakfast with Santa, on Sat., Dec. 3. Visit www.ValpoYMCA.org for information.
