Thank you to everyone who took part in the 38th annual Tapley’s Farm Halloween festivities. Under clear, crisp skies, our neighbourhood once again pulled out all stops from the artistically carved pumpkins to the themed houses and fabulous costumes to welcome more than 1,000 local children and parents to trick or treat.
Special thanks as ever to Bruce Stewart and Nesters Market for sponsoring the spectacular fireworks display and their generous candy donation. We also greatly appreciate all the candy donations from Fresh Street Market, Independent Grocers, Creekside Market and everyone that donated at our collection boxes around town.
Thanks to the Whistler Fire Rescue Service and its members for safely igniting the fireworks and handing out hot chocolate; the RCMP for its ongoing support; and to BC Transit, Whistler Marketplace, Fastpark and the RMOW for organizing the free Park and Spook shuttle and to Waldorf School for decorating the bus. Also, thanks to Pique Newsmagazine and Mountain FM for your promotional support.
A big shout out to the Whistler Secondary School Leadership Team for crewing the entrance and organizing the We Scare Hunger campaign for the Whistler Food Bank—and to Whistler Community Foundation for the Neighbourhood Grant to support the campaign and entrance. Together, we raised more than $1,100 cash and 170 kilograms of food for the Whistler Food Bank.
It was great to see so many people, young and old, dressed up, and that we were able to gather again to celebrate Whistler’s longest-standing community traditions. Our Whistler spirit is alive and well in Tapley’s Farm neighbourhood!
