In the spirit of keeping the Halloween celebrations alive for adults, two Metchosin councillors are helping organize the Metchosin Foundation Halloween Ball on Saturday night.

B次元官网网址淲e miss going out with our children so we want to go out and have fun again,B次元官网网址� said Coun. Moralea Milne. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a good excuse to party. We are looking for an opportunity to go out again.B次元官网网址�

As a child Milne was either a gypsy or a hobo for Halloween. She would go though her motherB次元官网网址檚 jewelry or grab one of her fatherB次元官网网址檚 coats and put fireplace soot on her face for a beard.

For Coun. Jo Mitchell, dressing up for Halloween has always been a favourite activity. She has a trunk of costumes at her home, and said her secret to a good costume is putting it together right before the event.

B次元官网网址淚f you like to dress up, now is your opportunity,B次元官网网址� Mitchell said.

B次元官网网址淒ressing up gives you a chance to have a new persona,B次元官网网址� Milne added.

The event doubles as a fundraiser for Metchosin Foundation. The money raised will go towards  obtaining conservation land covenants and other community projects.

The ball is licensed with beer, wine and cider. Sandwiches will be served at midnight. Music will be performed by the Metchosin rock and roll band, Fine Spirits.

This is the first year of the Metchosin Foundation Halloween Ball, but they are hoping to make this an annual event.

B次元官网网址淲e want to have an annual dance every year. ItB次元官网网址檚 something people can look forward to,B次元官网网址� Milne said.

The Halloween Ball is at the Metchosin Community Hall from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Oct. 29. Tickets are $15.
