What do you do with 3,500+ plastic eggs sitting in boxes,

What do you do with 3,500+ plastic eggs sitting in boxes,

unused since Easter events were cancelled this spring? Put

some Halloween themed stickers on them and come up

with a new activity called EGGtober!

Families could buy up to 5 dozen eggs filled with candy,

stickers and toys, and then on October 26th and 28th, we

split up into Boo Crew teams across the county, and hid

them in their yards so their children could go on a

Halloween hunt!

So many families told us how much fun they had and they

shared lots of photos from the spooky search!

Here are some comments we received from

parents on social media about EGGtober.

“I’d say Spartanburg Parks knocked it out of the park with

their EGGtober idea! My kids loved it! Spooky spiders,

terrifying toys, and sugary sweets put a smiles on everyone’s

face!”

“Thanks to the Spartanburg Parks Boo Crew for helping us

kick off Halloween week right with a spooky little egg hunt.”

“OMG My girls went nuts when they saw the eggs! They

want to do this every year. Your staff did an awesome job

hiding them. Thanks for helping make a memorable

Halloween after all we’ve been through this year.”

“My girls really enjoyed finding all the eggs and they’ve

been hidden and found multiple times since then!”

Spartanburg Parks

Many people are practicing safe social distancing and

still enjoying time outside in our parks. They’re using

#spartanburgparks to share their favorite moments.

A few Mentos, a few Coke bottles… and a whole lot

of learning! Our after-school program participants at

Duncan Elementary had so much fun watching what

happens when you drop the candies into the soda.

We’ll call it a socially distanced science study!

The after-school program participants at Holly

Springs-Motlow Elementary had spooky

celebrations all month long, with lots of

Halloween themed activities, including bat

snacks and monster slime.

The ACE program at Inman Elementary and

Inman Intermediate Schools was all about

pumpkins this month!

They painted them...

They made them out of beads...

They even launched them through the air

with pumpkin catapults!

The Woodruff Leisure Center ACE program kept

the frightening festivities going with monster

mouth snacks and a Halloween carnival.

They also spent some time outside “fore” some golf

lessons and had a tee-rific time! We want to give a

special shoutout to Robby Anders and Kyle Hardin,

who normally work at Cleveland Park, for coming

out to Woodruff to teach the children all about golf.

Ready… Set… Ride those bikes! Our BMX track at North

Spartanburg Park has become quite popular lately,

thanks to our partnership with Spartanburg BMX.

They run programs, races and events, as well as maintain

the track. Here are a few photos from one of the

October races.

We said goodbye to Caroline Nyvall this month,

who was part of our team for nearly a decade.

Caroline helped run our Youth Development

program and will be missed. We wish her the best

of luck in her new endeavor outside Spartanburg

County!
