PTO Carnival rolls into hanger 831 this Halloween
Some of those who were here last year probably
remember the annual PTO Carnival's various activi-
ties; such as the jail, the wheel of fortune, the
ghost house, not to mention the many children walk-
ing around with prizes they had won at some of the
booths.
Well, it won't be long until this year's PTO
Carnival will be held. In fact, just a week from
tomorrow you should see the children all dressed up
in their Holloween costumes so they can enter the
costume contest at the carnival.
Sources say that this year's carnival will be
similar to last year, but bigger and better. There
will be a new ice cream fountain and (in answer to
many requests) there willbe something like a child-
ren's section in which the activities will be aimed
at little children.
Also as last year, Hangar 831 will be the "host
of the haunt" this Oct. 30 and the festivities
start at 2 p.m. and last until 9 p.m.
There will be over 5,000 prizes offered at the
Haloween Carnival, so no one should be leaving for
home empty handed. There are also approximately 50
activities.
The main attraction, of course, will be the cos-
tume contest, taking place at 7 p.m. Prizes will
be offered for three age groups (not yet decided),
both boys and girls. So if you think that your
Mummy costume is better than your buddy's Cinder-
ella outfit, let the judges at the costume contest
decide for you.
Also, two dinners, a fish dinner and a barbecue
beef sandwich dinner, will be offered at the carni-
val. And with that all of the hot dogs, chili,
candy and cakes, no one should go home with an emp-
ty stomach. Except for the ghouls, that is.
Each of the over 50 activities will have a spon-

sor, such as the Scout Troops, the CPO, 56
Wives Clubs, and some of A. T. Mahan's
Profits will be divided 50-50 between the
and the PTO.
The base bus will be diverted to the hangar dur-
ing the Halloween Carnival to provide more direct
transportation for those without cars. Security
will also be available to control the flow of traf-
fic during the festivities. It is essential that
everyone remain clear of the ramp area because
planes will be maneuvering around the hangar during
the carnival. Parents are specifically asked to
keep their children clear of the area.
