LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Clear Lake High School gym was filled with activity on Halloween night as children and adults enjoyed the game booths, costume contests and people watching at the 34th annual Lakeport Kiwanis Halloween Party.

It was an unseasonably warm evening, much to the joy of all participants as they donned their costumes and continued the tradition of collecting candy treats and showing off their guises.

The group offered a big thank you to the Lakeport School District and Clear Lake High School for the use of the facility, and David Norris and staff for all the extra help they provided.

The games were fun for all thanks to the energy of more than 40 Clear Lake High School students who worked the booths.

Kiwanis also thanked California Scholarship Federation advisor Jim Rogers for coordinating their efforts.

Local farmers shared their abundance for decorations and treats, so a special thanks goes to Seely Orchards for the donation of apples, Renker Farm for pumpkins and corn stalks, and Mark Burch for the 545-pound giant pumpkin.

Thanks also went to Lakeport McDonald's for the donation of cups, Lakeport AAA for candy bags and UCP for the use of tables.

If anyone is interested in becoming involved in the community through Lakeport Kiwanis Club, meetings are every Wednesday at 7 a.m. at the Lakeport Senior Activity Center, 527 Konocti Ave in Lakeport.
