Our inaugural Halloween party was held on the Capri Theater's newly renovated plaza. The event fulfilled a dream of KB Brown - executive director for Project Refocus and owner of Wolfpack Promotionals, a printing business located just across the street.
"I wanted to make sure that the kids knew that they didn’t have to go outside the community to trick or treat or have fun to feel safe," Brown said.
There will be food, games, candy, a costume contest, and even roller skating on the plaza. Simply put, Brown says it's all about the kids having fun. "It’s one of those times when kids need something positive. And unfortunately whenever you look at north Minneapolis the only thing that we always hear about is gunshots, violence, murders," Brown said. "We don’t hear about the good things, so I want the kids to know that there’s good things for them. And this is their community, and they should feel safe in their community and have fun here."
