Get into the Halloween spirit!


Once called the biggest Halloween celebration west of the Mississippi, Anaheim's Halloween Festival is a yearly celebration that started back in 1924. The Orange County Historical Society is conjuring up a spellbinding program on the Festival's history for their October meeting --and YOU are invited!

Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, 7:30 p.m., at Trinity Episcopal
Church, 2400 N. Canal St., in Orange. Bring your friends and family --Admission is free.

Presented by historian Stephanie George, an Anaheim native, and the archivist at the Center for Oral and Public History at California State University, Fullerton.  Stephanie is also the recording secretary for the Orange County Historical Society, president of the California Council for the Promotion of History, and second place costume contest winner of the 1962 Anaheim Halloween Festival Pancake Breakfast!
