Free Halloween treats for Trick or Treaters from Brunswick Zone

October 8, 2011 By Chrissy Morin 3 Comments

The Brunswick Zone is offering free treats for you to hand out to the Trick or Treaters that come to your house this Halloween.

Free Halloween Treats

Each printable sheet from Brunswick has six free bowling coupons for kids 15 or younger. We will probably hand them out in addition to candy at our house. My kids hated it when people gave them something healthy on Halloween.

The bowling coupons can be used from October 31 through November 23, 2011.

Download the coupons by clicking on the PDF link below, print them out, cut them up and you’ll be the most popular parental unit on the block. Each coupon is valid for a free game of bowling for one child 15 or younger (one coupon use per family per visit). Shoe rental not included.

Thanks to my friend The Couponess who posted this freebie on her bargains website and knew all the folks in Parker would want to take advantage of the deal. The closest Brunswick Zone is on Park Meadows Parkway in Lone Tree CO.

Fieldhouse Fright Night: A Spooky Event for the Entire Family

Calling all ghastly ghouls, spooky spirits and wicked witches! The Parker Fieldhouse is going all out and putting on a fiendishly-fun Halloween event for families, adults and kids on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. This year, the Fieldhouse has decided to celebrate Halloween by combining the annual Spook Skate and Rock’n Halloween at the Climbing Wall, in addition to the annual Dodgeball tournament, games, vendors, contests and more!

Saturday, Oct. 22 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Parker Fieldhouse Parker Colorado

Put on your costume, grab your skates and join us at the inline rink for a Spook Skate you will never forget! Our diabolical DJ will keep the music playing while costumed skaters rock out to family-friendly tunes, play games and hang out with family and friends. Skaters must provide their own skates.

How about a scavenger hunt on the rocks? Join us at the Climbing Wall for Rock’n Halloween and win prizes by competing in the Blind Man’s Race, Witch’s Brew, Zombie Raffle and other fun challenges. Waivers are required for all climbers.

Fieldhouse Fright Night isn’t just for kids. Adults, grab your team and get dressed up because it’s time for Parker Recreation’s annual Halloween Dodgeball Tournament! Sixteen teams with six to eight players per team (note: one female must be playing at all times) will be accepted to compete in this double elimination tournament. Costumes are highly encouraged and the team with the most creative costumes will be awarded the Best Costume prize. Costumes must be family-friendly! Contact Errin at 303.805.6308 or email ereese@parkeronline.org to register or for more information.

The Fieldhouse team rooms will be transformed into “scream rooms” and opened to local vendors. Kids will be dying to participate in games, activities and Trick or Treating. Face painting, arts and crafts, a costume contest, concessions and raffles will all be a part of this horrifying Halloween event. Interested vendors may contact Wendi at 303.805.3263 or email wepps@parkeronline.org.

For more information, contact Brenda Mooney at 303.805.6309, email bmooney@parkeronline.org or visit us online at www.ParkerRec.com.

Trick or Treat on Mainstreet Halloween 2010 Parker CO

October 29, 2010 By Chrissy Morin Leave a Comment

The Trick or Treat on Mainstreet event is one of the most anticipated and celebrated of all the Halloween treats in Douglas County.

This year it’s bigger and better than ever! This event has grown and grown with last year swelling to over 10,000 kids out trick-or-treating. That’s just the kids, folks, so you can see some serious adjustments had to be made. Enter the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club (the founders of this event) and the Town of Parker agreed to close down Mainstreet just like they do for the Parker Farmers Market, so if you are familiar with that parking, this will be the same. Mainstreet will be closed off with fun booths and things to do up and down the streets and along the sidewalks from Mainstreet and Victorian Circle to Victorian Circle and all down Pikes Peak Drive. There will also be a haunted walk down Victorian Peaks way this year.

When: Halloween – October 31 – 4:00-7:30 p.m.

Where: Mainstreet area, Victorian Peaks, O’Brien Park, the Gazebo

Included Free Events: Festive entertainers, free candy at booths and store fronts, Haunted Walk, Face Painting
