The Placencia Humane Society
annually organizes a children's Halloween Party and Costume Contest.
(No funds donated to the Placencia Humane Society are used for the
party. Instead, separate donations are solicited from local
businesses and individuals.) Costume contest prizes this year were
certificates for the winning children to redeem at Atlantic Bank when
they opened a savings account. The Placencia Women's Group also
assisted in the event by providing refreshments.. One hundred
fifty (150) children from Placencia and Seine Bight Villages attended
this year's Party.
