HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS: Community events PAGE 10
Spooky trunks and sweet treats will be at St. Odilia BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER
Spooky season is right around the corner. Skeletons, creepy crawlies and mountains of candy will be decorating people’s front porches in preparation for the trick-or-treaters. Halloween is a time to dress up, gather as much candy as possible and watch your favorite spooky movie. Many local businesses and churches host Halloween events to celebrate the holiday. From costume fun runs to pumpkin carving contests, there is something for everyone to do to celebrate Halloween.
A popular event is the trunkor-treat. Adults and teens will decorate the trunks of their cars, and members of the public are free to move around the parking lot to each vehicle to gather up candy. It provides a safe, familyfriendly way for children to go trick-or-treating, dress up in their costumes and enjoy Halloween. St. Odilia Church, located on Victoria Street, will be hosting its own trunk-or-treat event. The church has held the event since 2013, when it was created by the Worship and Community Life Council. “The council heard about other
churches having a trunk-or-treat event, and they thought it would be a great and safe community building activity,” said Sarah Hansen, communications support specialist for St. Odilia. Everyone in the community and surrounding communities is welcome. Attendees do not need to decorate a trunk to participate. The church has hosted the event for years, but it really ramped up after the COVID-19 pandemic. “Last year we had almost 500 trick-or-treaters.” Hansen said. After the pandemic, “people were ready to get back together,

Folkokta (1975) by Victor Vasarely.
John Patrick’s heartwarming comedy, “The Curious Savage,” is coming to Mounds View High School Nov. 9 - 12. The play tells the story of Mrs. Ethel P. Savage. Upon her husband’s death, Mrs. Savage inherits $10 million, then plans to establish a fund to support dreamers with whimsical aspirations. Her stepchildren strongly disagree, so to prevent her from sharing their family’s wealth, they have her committed to a sanitarium. It is there that Mrs. Savage, played by Anja Horsman, finds kindness in the residents of “The Cloisters.” “This play is an engaging experience that presents the true importance of charity and kindness in a world that is often motivated by greed and dishonesty,” says Horsman, a senior at Mounds View High School. “It’s an honor to play the role of such a logical and humorous woman.” The Mounds View High School Theater Company is under the direction of Matthew van Bruggen, who has worked with several theater arts organizations, including the Minnesota Fringe Festival and Hennepin Theatre Trust. Before accepting the role as district performance facilities manager for Mounds View, he was the assistant theater director at Irondale High School. More than 130 members strong, the Mounds View High School Theater Company produces
