2013 Hoover Halloween & School Carnival

Halloween is usually one of my most favorite holidays but this year it was just kind of here, then gone.  I volunteered to be the person in charge of the face painting booth at the local school Halloween Carnival.  We were asked to be there one hour prior to the carnival start time to get things set up and ready for the children.  I did, however, get to see our one and only trick-or-treater as I was rushing out the door to head to the school.  The Hoover house (favorite home that all attend and talk about) was on my path to the school, enabling me to take some quick, drive-by photos.

The school Halloween carnival turned out really nice, having a large crowd show up for the event.  We had several children and teens come to the face painting booth.  I had asked a couple of ladies from the valley to do the face paintings and I must say, they did a excellent job.  I was going to split it up in groups but these two ladies volunteered to paint for the entire 3-hour block. My only regret is that I didn’t get more pictures of the faces they painted.  Some of them were pretty amazing.  I purchased our paints from Amazon, getting the Snazaroo Ultimate Party Pack – Face Painting Kit.  Just saying, these paints worked wonderful.

All-in-all, it was a fun night but I did miss sitting on the bleachers in the gymnasium with friends, observing all the fun Halloween costumes and seeing everyone having a great time.  Maybe next year!
