Trunk or Treat

Saturday October 31st, 2009

6:00 - 8:00 PM

Garden Valley is a rural, mountainous community where there are few neighborhood that kids can Trick or Treat door to door. Mom and Dad would have to drive their little goblins around the valley. Local kids miss the interaction of Halloween celebrations in more urban neighborhoods.

Thus, the advent of Trunk or Treat, an easier, safer and more fun way for one and all to enjoy the Halloween festivities. Adults challenge each other to come up with the scariest transformation of cars and trucks, turning downtown Crouch into a veritable "spook" parking lot. Set up begins in the afternoon. Festivities begin at 6:00 PM. Bring lots of candy. If you are really brave, you can sign up to be judge of the best car or truck costume.

Prizes will be donated by the Crouch Merc.

Don’t miss this customer appreciation event in Crouch.

On October 10th from 6:00 - 9:00 PM, the Crouch Merchants are inviting their customers to Strut Down Market Street. We are hoping this will evolve into an annual fall event.

This could be on of your last chances to see the snowbirds until the Garden Valley Spring Fling next April.

The temperatures are definitely dropping and the snow is not far behind ( I hope).

Follow these Home Winterizing Tips.

1. Everything and anything that is sitting outside must be stored away. Otherwise, make a map of it’s location in case you need to dig it out from under the snow.
2. Disconnect hoses from all hose bibs and bury hydrants.
3. Blow out sprinklers
4. Stack a weeks worth of firewood in close proximity to the house. Keep the bulk of your firewood away from the siding and out from under overhangs of your home. Stacked wood can attract insects and rodents.
5. Clean your chimney
6. Ask Marsha, at the Trading Post, when she expects her next order of grain scoops. They are the best shovels for our snow type. Buy one now before the rush.
7. Mount snow removal attachments on trucks and tractors or contract with a local snow removal service.
8. Reverse ceiling fans. They should rotate clockwise for winter.
9. Close foundation vents
10. Insulate any pipes that may be exposed or that are running through unheated spaces in the house.
11. Check batteries in smoke detectors.
12. Prune away any tree branches or shrubs that will get in the way of shovel.

Bonus Tip!

Get out the snow shoes and the sunscreen!

Enjoy the beautiful garden valley winter.
