Researching community notes from the Tignish Home and School Association, the October monthly meeting held a discussion what should be done to help school children and teenagers celebrate Hallowe’en. It was decided to sponsor a party on Monday evening (October 31^st). Reverend Father Macdonald offered the use of the parish hall for the entertainment as well as his support for the event. The release stated the members would furnish apples and prizes for the event.
