Breaking News: Official Notice From the Office Of Mayor Kirk Regarding Halloween and Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy Update: City of Gloucester Urges Children’s Halloween Celebrations for this Sunday, October 28th
Friday, October 26, 2012
Gloucester, MA – Due to uncertainty surrounding the path of Hurricane Sandy and the potential severity of the storm in the community, Mayor Carolyn Kirk and the City of Gloucester announce that all residents are encouraged to celebrate Halloween “trick or treating” on Sunday, October 28th between the hours of 4pm and 6pm.
Weather forecasters are predicting favorable conditions on Sunday afternoon and early evening prior to the possible arrival of a storm on Monday and Tuesday. With Halloween falling on Wednesday, October 31, state and local public safety officials are concerned about the potential impacts of Sandy.
Depending on Sandy’s track, by Halloween, the city and residents may possibly be facing widespread power outages, downed limbs, and lingering rainfall.
“Every child in the city and their families want to enjoy a safe Halloween tradition without the concern, confusion, or fear that a favorite holiday will be jeopardized by the storm, so we are urging neighbors to have children celebrate early in good weather, without concern for public safety issues that might arise as a result of the storm,” said Mayor Kirk.
As an alternative to trick or treating, there is a Halloween Party on Sunday from 2pm to 5pm at the Rose Baker Senior Center on Rogers Street. The party is free to all of Gloucester’s children between the ages of 1 and 8. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and there will be crafts, games, face painting, freeze frame dancing, and prizes for best costumes. The party is sponsored by the Gloucester Downtown Association.
The City made the decision to celebrate Halloween early in consultation with Gloucester public safety officials and after receiving an updated weather report from the National Weather Service. City officials have remained in contact with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency on Friday to ensure the most up-to-date information related to Hurricane Sandy.

Origami Jack-o-Lantern
I folded this last year, so I don’t remember if this is the one I designed, or if it is one that I folded from instructions I found somewhere… There are a good number of origami Jack-o-Lantern models with instructions available on-line, although most of them are not great IMHO. I am still trying to find the directions I used to have for a relatively simple version made from two pieces of paper, which I used to fold a lot a couple of decades ago. The problem is, I have more than a hundred origami books and magazines, and it could be in any of them… or in some other publication I no longer own…

The fam and I put together the first GMG What’s Up Homie Jack-o-Lantern of the season. We encourage the readers to do the same and we will post them here. Send them to Joey and he’ll post them here.
I will answer a few questions up front:
- It is not a crow
- It is not a martini glass as Joey C thought
- It is supposed to be standing on a post and not wearing high tops
- Yes that’s a sail boat on the right
Check this Halloween lawn display. This is the best I have ever seen. It is on Bridge street in Hamilton.

A Haunted Halloween Evening, Oct. 30, 2010
A Haunting Evening at the Inn Magnolia
Halloween – the time of the year when the veil is the thinnest between the realms of the living and the dead…and what could be more terrifying than spending the evening in a haunted country inn with New England’s own VanHelsing?
On Saturday, October 30th, join us, if you dare, for a night of food, fun, and mystery. Feast with the living, as we enjoy an elegant harvest dinner sumptuous enough to raise the dead. Then listen as author, radio personality, and paranormal investigator, Ron Kolek of the New England Ghost Project, takes you on a journey into the dark and macabre world of the ghost hunter.
Next take part in an investigation of the Inn. And the night ends as we attempt to communicate with the wandering spirits of the Inn Magnolia.
Dinner Menu
Cranberry Apple Salad
Rolls & Butter
Roast Turkey & Gravy
Homemade Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Butternut Squash
Buttered Peas
Cranberry Sauce
Coffee & Teas
Apple Crisp w/Whipped Cream
