The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce is seeking sponsors and donations for the holiday lights.
“To light up the Village again at the holidays we need your support. Please donate now so we can assure a bright few months this winter,” the chamber said in a press release.
Winterfest will take place starting Dec. 2 in the afternoon.
Support Merchant Candy Expenses for Village Trick or Treat.
Halloween in the Village returns on Tuesday, Oct. 31. The fun and festive event will run from 4-6 p.m. in Magnolia Village.
Thanks to the financial support of Queen Anne Painting we will once again close W McGraw St between 32nd and 34th Ave W. to keep the trick and treaters safe and sound.
On average, the participating businesses that pass out candy spend hundreds of dollars to ensure they have enough pieces of candy to hand out to the kids. Our local merchants love the community that supports their business and look forward to the Halloween tradition every year.
Your local Magnolia Chamber asks if you would consider supporting these businesses in several ways.
1. Continue to shop, dine and seek services locally.
2. Consider ordering candy in bulk to assist in underwriting the costs of
Halloween in the Village to our local businesses and merchants. Click on our Amazon Wish List and place a candy order to ship to the Chamber address:

Council unanimously confirms Foster as director of Seattle Center
The Seattle City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to confirm Marshall Foster as the Director of Seattle Center. This follows an extensive national search and community-driven selection process.
Marshall Foster, formerly the City’s Director of the Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects, brings decades of experience in leading complex civic partnerships and large-scale urban projects to his role as the permanent Director of Seattle Center.
Under Foster's interim leadership, Seattle Center has taken significant strides in preparing for the future, including the successful re-introduction of major festivals and events this summer, expanding Seattle Center’s operations to include the management of Waterfront Park, and key partnerships, such as the redevelopment of Memorial Stadium in collaboration with Seattle Public Schools.
