Over 500 people chose to celebrate Halloween last Sunday at the municipality’s Jack-O’-Lantern Walk on the Haunted Dock event at Heritage Park. Turnout to the event was significantly higher over last year, when an estimated 370 people attended. “It went really well. The weather was really cooperative, which was nice. We had a bit of wind during set up, which as threatening to blow all of our decorations away, but it calmed down around three o’clock and we got the whole pier decorated,” recreation program coordinator Ben Stringer told the View. All 400+ feet of the pier was decorated with the help of recreation volunteers as well as numerous community groups and the Mailett family. The Peachland Fire Brigade, BEEPS, Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, Peachland Riding Club, Peachland Ambassadors, Peachland Wellness Centre, Peachland Seniors Slo Pitch team, and Peachland Lions Club each decorated a portion of the pier with lights and decorations. “All the way until 8 p.m. we still had people coming through. It was threatening to go on all night so we had to eventually make the call to close it down,” said Stringer. “It was an opportunity for Peachland families to get out and enjoy trick or treating in Peachland. It was enjoyable for the kids to trick or treat and it was enjoyable for adults to come down and see all the kids in their costumes and get to enjoy it so I was calling it an event for kids of all ages and it really was.” Entry to the Halloween event was by donation to the Peachland Food Bank. The event raised $370 in cash donations and three boxes full of non-perishable food.
