🍎👑 Once Upon a Halloween… at the Evil Queen’s 2nd Home! 👑🍎
Once upon a spooky evening, the doors to the Evil Queen’s Home opened, and something magical happened… our wonderful residents arrived for our traditional Halloween Pizza Party! 🎃🕷️✨
To every resident who registered, dressed up, brought the family, and joined us—THANK YOU! You are what makes this tradition so special year after year. ❤️
This year, the Evil Queen herself was waiting… but don’t worry! 😈👑 Every child—and quite a few brave adults—received their very own NON-poisoned apple! 🍎😂 No sleeping spells were reported, so we’re calling the evening a success!
Our royal Halloween feast was filled with delicious pizza from Lisa’s Pizza 🍕, magical lemonade 🧪✨, spooky pretzel spiders 🕷️, mummy cookies, and adorable mini dessert dirt cups complete with skeletons from Sammy’s Sweets! 💀🍪
Of course, no enchanted celebration would be complete without a little treasure! 🎁 A huge thank-you to our wonderful sponsors who purchased gift cards from other local businesses to help make our raffles possible: Evibes Digital Marketing & Prints Sammy's Sweets LLC and Sigma Cleaning Ave Maria WOW Ladies (Women Of their Word) Thank you for always being ready to jump in, support our community, and help us create something special. ❤️
We also want to send some Halloween love to the vendors and community friends who, in one way or another, helped bring the Evil Queen’s world to life: Poplove SWFL , Mangos Ave Maria Pues, One Care Companion , Zumba with Andrea, and Lovella Yogart kids Your support, generosity, and willingness to help mean more than you know! 🧡
And finally… an Evil Queen cannot simply wake up looking fabulously wicked. 👑💄😂
A very special thank-you to Salon d' Maria for making absolutely certain that the Evil Queen looked the part! From the crown to the makeup and every wicked little detail, she was ready to ask the most important question of the night:
🪞✨ “Mirror, mirror on the wall… who throws the most magical Halloween Pizza Party of them all?”
The answer is easy…
OUR MAPLE RIDGE COMMUNITY DOES! ❤️🎃🍎
Thank you to our residents, families, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and everyone behind the scenes who helped turn an ordinary evening into another wonderful community memory.
Until next Halloween… keep an eye on those apples. 🍎👀👑✨
