Oct. 29-31: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone in Forest Hills! While the holiday may not have arrived yet, there's still plenty of spooky stuff happening in your neighborhood.

Be sure to stock up on fun-size candy bars and keep those window lights on, as well. Neighborhood pranksters could very well be out in full force. Here's 5 things you need to know heading into All Hallows Eve in Forest Hills.

1.     The Metropolitan Avenue Halloween Parade and Party, co-sponsored by the 112 Precinct, is happening again this year. Make sure to bring your kids, in costume, to the Maspeth Federal Savings on Metropolitan Avenue.

2.     Also, be sure to check out our Halloween safety tips, hitting the site today, to keep your kids safe in costume.

3.     The Forest Hills Girls soccer team is off to the playoffs. The first game for the 13-seeded Rangers is Saturday at Forest Hills High School. Go support your hometown team!

4.     Looking for a little peace and quiet heading into the Halloween weekend? Swing by the Church in the Gardens for its monthly Friday Night Lights meditative service.

5.     As always this week, keep up with the election coverage in the neighborhood, especially after last night's exciting candidates night in Middle Village.
