Bingo game of night Friday

Bingo will be the game of the night at the Grange on Friday, Nov. 2. The Glenwood Women's Club sponsors Bingo generally on the first Friday of each month -- and pinochle the other Friday nights at 7 p.m. Come join in the fun!

Glenwood business owners dubbed Halloween "Nightmare on Main Street" this year. Merchants planned special activities to provide a safe and fun place for children (young and old) to enjoy Halloween!

There was a costume contest at the Mountain Inn at 4 p.m., and the Glenwood General Store sponsored its annual pumpkin-carving contest. A new event this year was the "trunk or treat" where people parked between the store and the restaurant along Main Street and offered "treats" out of their trunks beginning around 4:45 p.m. Trunks could be decorated -- or not; costumes were optional, as well. In addition to prizes for the costume and pumpkin-carving contests, prizes were awarded to the "trunk or treater" with the best decorated trunk and costume. Winners of each contest will be published in a future "Glenwood News" for bragging rights! Complementary chowder, chili and hot cocoa was served at the Glenwood General Store to chase away the chill.
