The fun has just begun!” says Ms Souza in her classic vintage sweeping gown.

Lake Geneva Happy Halloween Greetings

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

Greetings, and Happy Halloween from The Mill Creek Hotel in Lake Geneva.  I think that most visitors celebrated Halloween last weekend, so it may be rather quiet around here tonight.  The downtown Lake Geneva businesses handed out candy to trick or treaters on Sunday, but tonight is the big regular Trick or Treat evening.

Happy Halloween Greetings from The Mill Creek Hotel in Lake Geneva

Do you have any favorite ways to enjoy Halloween? For us, kids go out trick or treating (with adult supervision), and after we usually get together for pizza, drinks, and listening to the kids retell any spooky evening goings on.  Back in my hometown, we would go out the 30th and the 31st, and we would have 2 different costumes and just have way too much candy.  There would also be those houses that gave homemade candy apples and the like.  I remember that I would never eat any unsealed item, but my friends did.  It was a different time; but not all of it was safe, I just think maybe we weren’t informed as well.

I think that the downtown Lake Geneva businesses giving out Trick or Treat candy is a great idea.  I know that many towns are participating in this kind of event these days.  Some even with a theme party and other activities going on all day. It brings people together and helps to promote a sense of community.

I encourage you to come visit Lake Geneva this autumn.  The recent winds and rain have removed a lot of our beautiful foliage, but the town and Geneva Lake are still just beautiful.  In fact Lake Geneva has beauty all throughout the year.  No matter the weather, when you stay at The Mill Creek Hotel, you will be just steps from shopping, dining and the Lake.  You can relax in your full condo suite or in the indoor pool and hot tub.

Make your reservation today by calling 877-MCH-LGWI or on our website www.MillCreekHotel.com.

Happy Halloween Greetings and Happy Greetings all year through from The Mill Creek Hotel in Lake Geneva.
