Halloween - Part Cinq: Montrose
The City of Montrose will be having its own Halloween "Spooktacular" at the Montrose Shopping Park. Lots of activities for kids, of course, such as trick or treating, a magic show, carnival-style game booths, etc. There's even a costume photo booth. Great for the entire family, or for a date. Everything pretty much takes place at the 2200 block of Honolulu Avenue.
Date: October 31, 2007
5 pm - 9 pm
Lots of city parking. Parking behind Rocky Cola Cafe will get you three hours of free parking. Observe restrictions.

If you can't get to these events on time, try your local supermarkets. Many Vons Supermarkets will provide wrapped candies to trick or treaters, as well as Gelsons at Paseo Colorado. For Gelsons, go to the Customer Service desk near the check out for your treat!

Old Town Haunt
Anybody in the mood for a haunted house? There are several in Pasadena, either by legend or for commercial purposes. I'm just going to talk about this one because it seems very professionally (i.e. commercially) organized.
"old Town Haunt"
Thur 10-11 to Sun 10-14
Thur 10-18 to Sun 10-21
Thur 10-25 to Sat 11-3
Tickets cost $13.50 per person, or $18.50 VIP. The VIP tickets gets you to the front of the line and apparently, you get access to special areas that the rest of the public does not. The walk-through takes 15-20 minutes. I've never been personally, but it sounds like a fun, convenient event to get into the Halloween mood.
Get discounted VIP tickets for $9.25 at my favorite online event ticketing outlet for Pasadena events: Goldstar Events
Thursday, Oct. 11 @ 7pm-10pm
Friday, Oct. 12 @ 7pm-Midnight
Saturday, Oct. 13 @ 7pm-Midnight
Sunday, Oct. 14 @ 7pm-10pm
Starting October 13, "Old Town Haunt" will open up a toned-down, "matinee" version for kids 4-11. Tickets are $8.50 per child, or $4.25 at Goldstar Events. Weekends only: Oct. 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28 from 12 to 4pm.
I look forward to finding out from others if this event is truly worth it.

Flashblog! Halloween Dress Up Day Trunk Show
Still need to shop for Halloween costumes? Don't feel like sifting through leftovers at Old Navy (although they have fantastic deals)? Or, you just want to find a fun place to take your kids while you shop for cool designer baby clothes--hit the road and head on over to Montrose! Okay, this is not Pasadena, but it's a Pasadenan's "secret" getaway from South Lake Avenue shopping traffic!
It seems that tender treasures is the only baby clothing store in Montrose. I love shopping there because they stock up on Tea Collection, Zutano and Rabbit Moon brands. Actually, what I really love is their perpetual summer sales. It's winter now, no? Anyway, I've purchased items there that normally cost $20-$52 retail, for $9.99-16.50! It can be addictive shopping at tender treasures. Note: they currently only stock children's clothing from infants to kid's sizes up to size 6.
My son loves to play in the cute little dollhouse play area, where about two kids can sit in and read books or fiddle with random toys. The nice sales staff have helped me watch my son in the past (when business was slow) as he roamed around the boutique, pulling stuffed animals off shelves, while I shop. Bless their hearts!
Here's the event information:
tender treasures
featuring a large collection of costumes from "Little Adventures"
Treat your kids to a day of dress up!
Saturday, October 13
12:00 pm-4:00 pm
Capes, Fairies, Brides, Soldiers, Mermaids, Snow White, Cinderellas, Princesses, Pirates and more!
Once Upon a Time will provide books for our costumed staff to fread for a Halloween Story Time too.
Refreshments will be served all day.
Don't miss the fun and the fantasy!
Please call 818-248-2260 for reservations
All kids with reservations are entered into a drawing for a $100.00 Gift Certificate!
2280 Honolulu Ave. Montrose, California 91011 818-248-2260
Parking: street parking or any public lot just south of or north of Honolulu Avenue.
See you there!
