Park district notes
From Marcia Greenslate, Executive Director

[October 23, 2014]  Halloween is just around the corner and that means one thing. It’s time for the Halloween Fun Fest. The fun kicks off on Thursday, October 30th from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at Symphony of Lincoln located at 2202 North Kickapoo Street.

Trick or Treaters will go from room to room receiving treats from the residents within the facility. We encourage parents to take advantage of this opportunity. The residents really enjoy seeing the children in their costumes.

Then it’s off to the park district for the Halloween Fun Fest being held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. There will be loads of games for the costumed youngsters to play and everyone wins prizes and candy. Costume judging takes place throughout the evening. This is a free event for the children and their families made possible through the generous donations and financial support of many of our local businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Registrations are continuing for the Junior Railer Boys Basketball Program. This instructional program is open to all boys in the first through sixth grades. You can sign up at the Administration Office located at 1400 Railer Way during regular business hours. The cost is $45 per player and $25 for each sibling. Participants who will not be attending Lincoln High School are considered out of District and will be charged $50 per player and $27.50 for each additional family member. The deadline for registrations is November 2nd.

The regular season starts on Saturday, December 6th and runs through the end of February. All games will be played at the park district Indoor Sports Center. Contact us via e-mail at [e-mail] or by calling 732-8770 weekdays if you have any questions.
