Shout out to Gail who hosted a special Halloween celebration in collaboration with Music By the Bay Live to raise money for the Uxbridge Food Bank. (See the group’s thank-you note at the end of this post.)
How wonderful to be a kid again, if only for a few short hours. Freewheelers rocked it with creative costumes and fancy dance steps.
They say it’s sometimes hard to recognize cyclists when they are not wearing their spandex and helmets. Well ain’t that the truth!
- In the edible category we had a Toasted Western and a Bratwurst.
- In the bad boys and girls category, we had three witches, Phantomess of the Opera, a pirate, a gangster, a bootlegger, and a Blues Brother. After all, it’s well known that Freewheelers spent a lot of time in the Principal’s office.
- For law and order to keep that gang of baddies under control, we had a sheriff. And of course, we had to have a Canuck to keep the peace.
- And finally for humour, one of our alum came as a clown.
What a night! Halloween for Humanity brought out the ghouls, the giggles, and the generosity. 🕷️
Thank you to everyone who donated, dressed up, danced (to keep warm), and spun the Wheel of Misfortune. You turned a spooky season into a season of giving. 🧡🎃
With your help we can donate $1,730.00 to the Uxbridge Loaves & Fishes Food Bank.
Special thanks to VOODOO Pawn Shop for igniting The Blues, Steve Coupland for keeping the Wheel of Misfortune spinning all evening & VERY special thanks to Gail & Steve Lupton for allowing us to haunt their Spooktacular barn.
👻 Creepin’ it real,
