Halloween full of treats at Pilgrim Senior Center

NOW ‘WITCH’ WAY DOES THAT GO? Kathleen Bohl lines up center staffs in preparation of their grand entrance with the message “Pilgrim rocks.” They got it right.

NO NEED FOR A BROOM: Given the wind, Betty Smith was ready to fly.

BLOWING THE WHISTLE ON HALLOWEEN: She didn't get to use her handcuffs or nightstick, but Maureen Sheats, who wore the badge "Rita Dem Rites," willingly sounded her approval as fellow members took to the dance floor for Thursday's Pilgrim Senior Center Halloween party.

SWINGING PARTY: The dance floor was a popular venue no matter the costume.

UNMASKED: She’s known as the grandmother of Warwick Neck, a title earned for having babysat for so many families on the neck. And her name? Cindy Briggs, of course.

CAT’S MEOW: Betty Toye neither bared her fangs nor showed her claws, but she had a smile to purr for.

PLAYGIRL: Maryann Famiano wore an outfit that surely earned her the title as a summer bunny.

There were no tricks, but lots of treats Thursday afternoon at the Pilgrim Senior Center.

Of course, that was the way the Halloween party was planned. The center was appropriately decorated for the occasion, as were the staff and those turning out for the event. Lest we forget, the baked goodies also carried off the Halloween theme.

Wearing black with a single letter hanging from their necks, the festivities started as the staff filed into the room to spell “Pilgrim rocks.” Chuck Holm turned up the music and some of the slinky cats, cool cowboys and even a beach gal made it to the floor. It was Halloween and a good reason to have a party.
