Museums
‘Safe Halloween’ no matter what
Neither rain or threat of rain could keep a small army of young children from their appointed rounds at the Kern County Museum on both Oct. 30 and 31. Those were the nights for the museum’s 25th annual Safe Halloween. Spending $8 a ticket gave each child (with a parent or guardian) the chance to trick-or-treat off the streets and in the safety of the museum grounds. A project of the nonprofit Kern County Museum Foundation, Safe Halloween bills itself as Kern County’s premier trick-or-treat experience. Surrounded by all the rustic, pioneer structures that have served families settling Kern County in the past, the antique setting makes it sort of like “Trick-or-Treat Meets Back to the Future."
Among the fun for children were over 30 local service club and business operated trick-or-treat stations, a carnival, costume contest, food and beverages.
Approximately 4,400 children and parents took part each night as their brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles have over the past 24 years.
Sponsors included Kern Family Health Care, Diane S. Lake Family, KERO TV23 and Azteca America Kern County 42 and Groove 99.3 FM. More
