Trunk of Treats!

For a safer alternative to regular trick or treating in the neighborhood, many local churches offer "trunk or treat" activites with carnival style games, face painting, and chili cook-off contests, etc. Volunteers will decorate their cars' trunks and the children can trick or treat in the parking lot. This way it's a one stop event and parents feel peace of mind and kids go home happy. So ask around your group of church-going friends if you don't already have somewhere in mind.
Every congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will have a Trunk or Treat on Oct 30th starting at 6pm.

Punzak Park in Fowler will be offering a Trunk or Treat event on Oct 31st from 6-8pm. 500 East Merced Street. Call for more information 834-5486

Peoples Church Courtyard and Gym will be celebrating Halloween Oct 31st from 6-8:30pm with games, bounce houses, obstacle courses, live drama, food for purchase, and live music. 7172 N Cedar Ave, Fresno 298-8001 ext 392

Shade Clothing $3 $2 $1

Shade Clothing is closing its website this Sunday. The liquidation has reached an all time low. Many of the sizes are limited however the best deal includes black and white camisoles and they still have every size. So if you are looking for an undershirt for $1.54 now's your chance! Shipping ranges between $5-$7, so if you can order with a local friend you can save on shipping too. My mother and I made our purchase last night- 8 items including cami's, shirts and pants for $37 including shipping. Each item averaged $4.60 after shipping. The original price for these products would have been $161 so we saved $124! Click HERE, but be patient with the site it is running slowly right now.
