mixed with startled gasps as children of all ages found their way though this maze of webs and gooey <br />surprises. When a tallow-headed youth dressed all in black with blazing eyes darted into the black abyss <br />of the barn, and professed, “This is my eighth time going in,” River House staff knew this event would be <br />back next year! For more information about this event or to volunteer for this or other community <br />events, contact Colette Ramirez, 682-6321, or Toni Perez, 682-6320, at the River House Outdoor <br />Program. <br /> <br /> “Boo Barn” Receives Cheers <br />Petersen Barn Community Center was happily entertained by nearly 300 <br />miniature costumed characters last Friday, Oct 29. Princesses, kings, turtles, <br />hippos, lions, tigers, and bears were there to have some fun. Dorothy and Toto <br />must have taken a wrong turn, but the Incredible Hulk and Spiderman had fun on <br />the red brick patio. A few dairy cows were also staff favorites adding to the <br />traditional “barn” ambience, where moooooooing is a very acceptable way of <br />expressing yourself. <br /> <br />Most participants were toddler to preschool range—they enjoyed playing games, <br />eating popcorn, drinking punch, and making the wacky crafts provided by Ardis <br />Barker, the long-standing Petersen Barn pre- school instructor. Some parents <br />also got into the fun by dressing up, taking some nips of candy (no wonder we <br />ran out), and smiling as they watched the little ones watch each other. For more information on this <br />event please contact Pierre the Pirate, Recreation Division, at 682-6359. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />November 4, 2005 <br />
