Trick/Trunk or Treat in Henderson

/by

Halloween this year in the City of Henderson will see events for children on Friday and Saturday, rather than Sunday which is actually Halloween on the calendar.

Friday, October 29 the long-observed downtown trick-or-treat event is planned, and Henderson Vance Downtown Development Director Tracy Madigan said the event is still on go. She said downtown trick-or-treat will be “on Garnett Street from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m.” Children can go door to door dressed in their costumes.

Also Friday, the parking lot of Maria Parham Health will be the site of a COVID-safe, drive-through trunk-or-treat. Children in costumes don’t have to navigate sidewalks or uneven driveways to fill their bags with goodies – they stay in their cars and get their candy and treats handed to them through open windows. The trunk-or-treat will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the hospital’s back parking lot. All participants should enter through the main entrance and follow signs to the right upon arrival, according to Donna Young, hospital spokesperson.

On Saturday, October 30, Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow has confirmed Citywide trick or treating will be 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.

SportsTalk: Success On The Field Keeps Vance Charter AD Lance Stallings Busy

/by

#1 in women’s volleyball, #2 in men’s soccer, a great cross country season and women’s golf coach and player of the year have certainly put a smile on Vance Charter’s athletic director Lance Stallings. “Kudos to the coaches and the kids,” Stallings said on Thursday’s SportsTalk with Trey Snide. “It’s great to get back to normal and I’m lucky to be a part of it all,” Stallings added.

Women’s golf at Vance Charter has been a great success with second year head coach Tyler Woodside being named Coach of the Year and golfer Grace Stovall grabbing Golfer of the Year honors this season. Three other golfers finished in the top ten for the school.

Men’s soccer is #2 in the Triangle North Athletic Conference and Vance Charter’s team will get a bye going into the tournament and will play on Monday at 4:30pm. If they come away with a win they will play for the conference championship later next week.

Meanwhile, volleyball also has their tournament going on and Vance Charter will begin tournament play this Saturday at 3pm taking on Carrboro. It all adds up to a busy fall sporting season for Vance Charter and AD Lance Stallings.
