Mingle with “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” during the Superior Elks Lodge 403 Halloween party Saturday, Oct. 29. The event, a fundraiser for the Challenge Center, will include food, live ’60s, ’70s and ’80s music by Flipside, a silent auction, drink specials and an appearance by fortune teller Lady Ocalat.It’s the second year for the Elks Halloween bash, and they’re hoping to make a bigger splash.
“We want people to have a good time so they want to come back, so they know it’s for the community,” committee chairperson Cristine Crum said. “They can have fun, too, and win great prizes.”
Those include a signed Green Bay Packers football, a one-week timeshare worth over $2,000, a necklace valued at $300, hotel stays and local gift certificates.
Costumes are admired, but not required.
Part of the mission of the Elks, a fraternal order with a 141-year history, is to cultivate good fellowship and serve the community through benevolent programs that demonstrate Elks care and Elks share.
“It’s the community, being invested in the community,” said Kelly Peterson, residential director for the Challenge Center.
Over the last year, the Superior lodge has secured $27,000 in grants that have been poured back into the community, in addition to funds raised by the organization. Donations supported Harbor House Crisis Shelters, the Boys and Girls Club, the Superior School District Angel Fund and backpack program. The Elks started their own veterans back pack program, providing 40 backpacks full of socks, snacks, hygiene items and more to local veterans through Solid Rock Mission, Harbor House and the VA Clinic.There are a limited number of tickets available for the Oct. 20 event, which runs from 6:30-11 p.m. at the lodge, 1503 Belknap St. Tickets, $15 for individuals and $25 per couple, can be purchased at the lodge, Challenge Center, Campbell Lumber, A Dozen Excuses and Apple House CBD. Tickets will also be available at the Elks Lodge 403 drug awareness booth at North End Days on Saturday, Oct. 13.
