This Halloween, the team at our Northern Cross Lake store, supported and participated in programs organized by a community-led committee, filled with lots of Halloween fun for everyone.

Every year, Cross Lake residents look forward to transforming their homes with elaborate spooky decorations, wearing creative costumes, and eagerly participating in friendly contests. Festivities were made possible thanks to fundraising efforts and a $3,000 donation from the Northern store.

About 14 gift prizes were awarded across the competitions, and families enjoyed participating in the parades and other community hall events. Store Manager Aswin Anikuttan took on the role of judging the best-decorated house and shared his appreciation for the community’s creativity and passion.
 
“The Cross Lake community pours their heart and soul into Halloween celebrations,” said Anikuttan. “We’re glad to be able to support and be part of these incredible festivities that bring the community together.”
