Halloween At The Pruneyard

Pruneyard businesses team up to provide fun, safe Halloween event at shopping center.

More than one hundred families came out to the Pruneyard Shopping Center Saturday afternoon to trick-or-treat and celebrate at the annual Halloween Extravaganza.

Radio Disney led the festivities with music, dance exhibits and games for the children who showed up to the plaza Saturday in their Halloween costume and went trick-or-treating to every business in the shopping center.

Representatives from a new Pruneyard restaurant Pacific Catch were in the plaza handing out candy and sampling fresh food from its menu while employees from Trader Joe's were handing out free apple cider.

Balloon-makers from Adventure Balloons were on-hand to make the most uniques ballon figures for the chidren while Barnes And Noble employees were leading arts and crafts demonstrations.

Walnut Creek resident Meygan Casillas said she takes her children to the Pruneyard every year for the Halloween Extravaganza because it is safe and family-friendly.

“We’ve been coming to this for the past three years, since my children were babies,” Casillas said. “It’s a safe environment and we trust the area.”

The annual event is hosted by Equity Office Management, LLC., who manage the Pruneyard property and its businesses.

Rebekah Children’s Services, a local nonprofit organization which specializes in social services for foster children, was in attendance collecting costumes for children in its program.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
