Kinsley Power Systems holds a Safe Trick-or-Treat Halloween Party for employee and local KinderCare children.

East Granby, CT - October 26, 2012 - Kinsley Power Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kinsley Group, held a Halloween Party for employee children and children from the local KinderCare Learning Center in East Granby, CT on Friday, October 26th at the company headquarters in East Granby, CT.

Kinsley Power Systems contacted KinderCare Learning Centers in East Granby to see if the center would be interested in allowing their children to trick-or-treat in a safe environment for Halloween.  After permission slips from parents were collected, the 27 kids walked over to Kinsley headquarters to be met with a goodie bag to collect their candy in. Kinsley Power Systems provided the candy and events and employees were in the Halloween spirit by dressing up in Halloween costumes. The kids participated in arts and crafts, cubicle trick-or-treating, music, movies and pizza.  At the end of the party, the company had a contest for best cubicle and office door and best costume.

A note from Kate M. Ferris-Morrell, KinderCare Learning Center, East Granby, CT:  "Thank you so much for such an awesome experience! The children had a great time and the families truly appreciated the experience their children had!  Halloween can be scary and dark, so this was a perfect opportunity to have some fun in a safe environment! We look forward to future events!"
