Date change!
Park Stockdale will host a Halloween costume parade for neighborhood children along with a fire safety presentation from firefighters from Station 11 at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24. The date has been moved up from Thursday, Oct. 30, because of a scheduling conflict with the Bakersfield Fire Department.

Camaraderie at the movies
More than two dozen residents enjoyed a family movie next to the park pavilion at dusk Friday night, according to organizer and board member Roxanne Fackler.
The movie was shown on a large inflatable screen with new, louder speakers, set up by board member Eli Hamm and resident Adam Johnson.
Four young girls, around age 3, made friends with each other and gathered their chairs together to enjoy the film as they ate freshly made popcorn popped by Fackler and board member Ana Flores.
The movies are one of the occasional community events sponsored by the Park Stockdale Civic Association Board of Directors.
