Another
ghoulish extravaganza! Noogiefest begins every year
with a team of volunteers, a carload of donated food and decorations and two
tons of enthusiasm. On Saturday, October 30th,
Gilda’s Club South Jersey was host to almost ninety Noogies and their
families and friends. Kids and adults all showed up in their most
creative Halloween costumes, grinning from ear to ear. They were
expecting a party and they weren’t disappointed. Noogie families were
treated to face painting, colorful balloon creations, magicians, games, hot
dogs and pizza and festive sweets, including water ice. One photo of a little smile sums up the entire Noogiefest!
