Young goblins will soon have a chance to experience tons of ghoulish Halloween fun with a smattering of school and community events and activities. Among the offerings will be one of the longest-running Halloween carnivals in the area — the 50th annual rite of fright at Sunset View Elementary School, 4365 Hill St., on Saturday, Oct. 25. Young trick-or-treaters will gather from 4 to 8 p.m. to enjoy a costume contest, take a spooky walk through a sinister haunted house or creep up to the slime booth. The event, of course, also features game booths, cake decorating and arts and crafts for the entire family, said organizers. “This is a very exciting year for Sunset View school as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Halloween Carnival. The Point Loma community looks forward to this event each year and many families have several generations of members who have attended the carnival. This year we are expecting many Sunset View alumni to be present for the festivities,” said principal Linda Parker. The free event is open to the public.
