HalloEast: Community Celebrates 9 Years of Festivities

Fred Brock Post No. 828 participates in SAGE’s HalloEast

Members of Fred Brock American Legion Post No. 828, joined by its Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion, participated in the annual community block party dubbed “HalloEast” on the 600 block of North New Braunfels Avenue.

The 4-hour event provided a safe opportunity for trick-or-treating and connected attendees with valuable community resources.

According to Post 828 Commander Burrell Parmer, the event was worth attending.

“HalloEast provided members of the Post the opportunity to venture outside the walls of the Post and be visible in our community,” said Parmer. “It was great seeing so many children dressed in their Halloween costumes and to pass out some candy.”
