The Great Pumpkin is in the Park

Wednesday, October 20, 2021


By Teresa Pape
RBCA Executive Director

This month marks the 35th anniversary of Richmond Beach Community Association’s annual Halloween Carnival. 

Saturday, October 23, 2021 from noon to 3:00pm, at a NEW location -- Richmond Beach Community (Library) Park located at 2201 NW 197th St

Children of all ages and abilities and their guardians can scare up some fun at an outdoor event featuring Viv’s Pumpkin Patch sponsored by Vivian Peterson, real estate broker from Windermere Shoreline. 

This is a low-cost ($1.00 - $6.00) pumpkin patch designed for families with small children. Don’t drive all the way up to Snohomish when the perfect pumpkin is waiting for you in Richmond Beach. 

While at the park, enjoy an old-fashioned carnival game or two. Please dress for rain, and since parking is limited walk to the event if possible. As per health and safety guidelines everyone age 2 or older will be required to wear a mask.

It is an annual tradition to have a soft opening for kids with special needs

Children who have a particular way of seeing, hearing, moving, feeling, thinking, or perceiving the world are often not comfortable attending functions such as this due to the commotion of large crowds and noises. 

To make the event accessible, families with special needs are invited to the park early for one hour from 11:00am to 12:00pm to pick a pumpkin and play carnival games in a less busy environment while also allowing any modifications possible to meet their skills and abilities. Please be aware the park’s surface will be muddy and wet.

Treats needed

It takes over 100 treats to make the treat walk (formerly known as the cakewalk) a success. This popular attraction can’t happen without sweet prizes. 

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all items will need to be store-bought and sealed. Consider donating other new packaged prizes like soccer balls, toys, books, snacks, or other special items. 

Reminder -- cakes, cupcakes, cookies, candy bags, and gluten-free sweets are still needed, but cannot be homemade. Simply bring your treat donation with you when you come to the park.

This is a fundraiser for the Richmond Beach Community Association. If you have questions, please contact Executive Director Teresa Pape at execdirector@richmondbeachwa.org

Girls just gotta have fun

Spirits were high at Saturday’s RBCA Annual Halloween Carnival. 

The event started off at a quiet pace, with families needing it a bit less loud and some extra time and space were able to enjoy themselves.

Things were hopping at the mid-way point when the line for the haunted house reached the front doors. 

Bounce houses gave a thrill. The cafeteria filled bellies.

Shorenorth Cooperative Preschool Carnival expresses Caring Community Spirit

Sunday, April 29, 2018

Text and Photos by Luanne Brown

If you were lucky enough to have attended the Shorenorth Cooperative Preschool Carnival on Saturday, April 28, the first thing you would have noticed was the caring spirit and sense of fun that floated through the crowd.

Familes check out everything


From banners to balloons, Shoreline Community Colleges Pagoda Union Building was festooned for the occasion. Children played age-appropriate games, with fun prizes they could trade up for toys, while parents strolled up and down rows of tables laden with silent auction items. There was something for everyone, no matter what their age.

The event is planned several months in advance. “Every family has a job,” said Andi Tosch, fundraising coordinator.

“It’s a labor of love and everyone works so hard. Our financial goal is less important to us than working as a community. That is the real reward,” teacher Susie LaClergue said, “The incredible energy and various talents of all our members really shine through.”

“And it’s our chance to celebrate our school while reaching out to the community,” Tosch added.

Many former students and their families return every year to either attend the fundraiser or volunteer to help. There were also students from Shorecrest and Shorewood high schools who were recruited to help with the many games for children such as Outer Space Bean Bag Toss, Deep Sea Fishing, and Lasso the Unicorn that helped to create the carnival atmosphere.

“I like to see all my friends from when I was younger, and I like to volunteer to help with the games. It’s also fun just to watch everything happen,” said Lili MacBriar-Hernandez who attended Shorenorth before entering Cascade K-8 Community School.

The Silent Auction had 300 items


The Silent Auction had over three hundred items available for silent bids. Auction items included tickets for family-oriented activities such as movie and live-theater performances, sports events such as tickets to Seattle Storm home games. Also on offer were beautiful handmade items such as a crocheted baby blanket and a Chillax Box based on Shorenorth's own 'Calm Down Box,' which features items that help kids regroup, calm down and focus.

The bake sale was coordinated by Devi Elliott who explained that every family contributes homemade baked goods, including some with gluten-, dairy-, and nut-free options. There were also prepared snacks — all sold for reasonable price and a good cause.

According to Jen Belcourt, volunteer marketing coordinator, funds raised through the carnival will be used to help keep tuition affordable, provide fieldtrips for students, subsidize tuition for families in need of financial help, and to purchase new toys and supplies.

The motto of Shorenorth Preschool, which was found in 1972, is “Where learning and play go hand in hand”. Faculty consists of Director Jan Burnham, who has been with the school for 14 years. Her loving, generous, and inclusive spirit sets the tone for the school and attracts both parents and kids to her side whenever she’s in the classroom or the community-at-large.

Teacher Susie LaClergue started out at the school as parent-teacher and transitioned to staff four years ago. “Our program is not just about the child who goes to the school. It’s also about their parents,” she said. The school practices child-led learning, which empowers children to pursue activities and experiences which are interesting to them. Because the school is a cooperative, parents from each family are required to participate in classroom or other activities on a regular basis.

Parents are enrolled in Shoreline Community College parenting classes and receive community college credits for weekly in-class parent-learning opportunities and a monthly lecture. “It’s a great place for parents to grow into their parenting roles in a fun, safe community,” said LaClergue

For over 75 years Washington state has supported co-op preschools. “We’re proud to say that for 45 years Shorenorth has been a part of that important, family-focused history,” LaClergue said.
