IFA Halloween Party October 31

On Halloween night (October 31 at 5 PM) there will be a costume party for Inverness residents, young and old, with or without kids.  Everyone is invited.

Cybel Wigle provided the following details about the event:

I would like to clarify a miss conception about the Halloween party that will take place in the 8100 block of IRR, at 5pm [on Oct 31]. 
After talking to several people in the neighborhood, it seems that many understood that the party was only for parents and kids. That is totally INCORRECT. 
Everyone in our community is WELCOME. People with or WITHOUT kids, couples, singles, friends, and all are welcome. You can also to dress-up or not. We are highly encouraging dressing up to make of this day a more festive one. 
We apologize for the confusion and hope to see everybody on Halloween day :-)
Please pass the word for those who cant reach this page.
Hoping to see ALL our community together on Halloween day :-)

Inverness Halloween Spookctacular

The Inverness Forest Halloween "Spookctacular" on the evening of Oct 31 was a big success!  More than 70 people attended by my wild guess and perhaps even more.

The event organizers, Jessica Bejarano, Cybel Wigle and Maria Angelica Antequera (and I'm sure several others who's names I don't have) did a fantastic job putting this together.  

If you've ever organized an event before, you're aware of the hundreds of little details that you have to take care of before an event can come off as flawlessly as this one. 

The kids costumes showed a lot of imagination and, as an added bonus, many of the adults came dress up in witty and clever costumes.

I submitted my pictures of our halloween event to the Potomac Almanac newspaper.  They published a large spread in the November 4 edition.  Our community is getting a lot of free publicity lately since this feature comes a month after an earlier story about the Inverness Forest Association's first annual picnic.

I was not the only photographer present at the event.  Maria Angelica Antequera provided me the following link to her photos:
