Spirit days may be on pause at schools but Movin’ After Zoomin’ still includes dress up days in their schedules! Participants have been dressing up in their Halloween costumes and pajamas for themed days planned by the amaz- ing sta.

With a lot of strategizing and teamwork, the kids gured out the answer and won goody bags lled with bracelets and bubbles! The Danville Youth Council was excited to return to volunteering for the Spooktacular Drive Thru Celebration. Council members that felt comfortable volunteering in person, showed up to the Danville Community Center in masks and gloves to play games with participants, pass out candy and provide a helping hand to this event. Members who could not come to the event, popped by the community center to pick up supplies to prepare goody bags for the event. SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Public Art Exhibit, Hearts Around Hartz, was a boost to economic development for the Town in that people from all over the Bay Area, and residents of Danville who don’t normally come downtown, all came downtown to look at the Hearts. While here, they also noticed and solicited businesses and restaurants they don’t normally go into. Local business owners provid- ed feedback that there was an increase in foot-trac as a direct result of people coming out to see the Hearts. Also, there will be a couple of local artists who will now be doing art commissions of hearts for people who did not win at the auction, so the Town has also helped facilitate and generate new income opportuni- ties for artists in Danville. For the rst time ever, the Scarecrow Stroll has begun in Danville! Nineteen businesses applied and received a scarecrow kit which included the “bones” of a scarecrow that could be decorated and designed however businesses wanted. Resi- dents are encouraged to download the scare- crow map and stroll to all the participating businesses to nd their favorite fall friend.
