Light in the Night Safe Zones are local community, high energy, visibly lit up block parties!
Light in the Night 2009 is hosted by Legacy Ministries, Easton Weed & Seed, Easton Phillipsburg YMCA, Lafayette College and other Community Partners.
Our basic idea is that.... "We do not believe that you need to take your kids down DARK city streets to GET CANDY from STRANGERS on a night filled with EVIL intentions." The goal is to provide safe areas for children to get safe candy, have fun and play games while pushing back the evil influence of Halloween.
