Halloween, Island Style

2014 Canned Food Drive & Most Haunted House Contest

Once again, it’s that time of year to celebrate the season on our bustling, little island in the bay. Pumpkins are popping up on porches and the wind whips through the trees as the branches dance.

Hooray for Halloween!

It’s also time for the 8th Annual Alameda – Haunt Your House! Canned Food Drive and Most Haunted House Contest!!

This popular community event is a way for residents to showcase all the fabulous architecture of our town by encouraging them to decorate their homes for Halloween. Most importantly, contest participants agree to collect canned goods from friends, neighbors and folks who walk, bike or drive by to enjoy the scary scenery.

We are VERY proud to say we’ve collected over 3,000 lbs of canned goods in support of the Alameda Food Bank.

The purpose of the contest is simple and three-fold: to celebrate the uniqueness of all the great houses in our town, to participate in a community effort in support of the Alameda Food Bank; and to have fun.

So, please join in this year by haunting your house (just the front yard!) and collect canned goods. Maybe your house will be voted the Most Haunted House on the island!! How cool is that?

Can’t decorate this year? Spread the word and/or enter someone who is!! Also, You can still participate by collecting canned goods and lending a hand to folks less fortunate during this holiday season. Want to be a judge? Email Patti at: patti@alamedahaunts.com.

Whatever you get up to this Halloween – be safe and stay scary.

Happy Haunting!
