Halloween 2021
By Ronnie Kayla Neiman
Halloween is coming up soon and it the second one during the pandemic of COVID-19. Amidst the fourth wave of cases, many are unsure what to do with a holiday that children usually enjoy. Where people dress up creatively and sometimes ridiculously. Where people eat so much chocolate and candy that they can get sick. It is supposed to be a fun holiday, a way to relax and have fun. While we are not technically in a lockdown, it doesn’t feel safe enough for trick’or treating.
Halloween is not just a single day celebration, it’s one entire season where tricks and treats happen, people put on their spookiest costumes and attend the eerie ghost tours in Brandon. Other than the regular traditions, there are some virtual events happening that feel safer than being out and about.
Halloween Afternoon Tea is an event created by Dragonfly Delights Tearoom.
$35 tea for one box
3 sweets, 2 scones, 3 tea sandwiches.
$70 Tea for Two, three tiered to-go tray
6 sweets, 4 scones, 6 tea sandwiches.
Curbside pick up only during covid.
Address: 339 12th Street
