West Side Hawks Trounce Delaware 24-7 in Little League Juniors Regional Opener
By Carol Tannenhauser
On Thursday, the West Facet Little League Juniors Baseball event crew — the Hawks — received their opener within the Jap Regionals in opposition to Delaware by a whopping 24-7. The Regionals are being performed in Freehold, New Jersey, at Mary J. Tighe Park. The Hawks’ supervisor, Jim Glasgow, despatched the next post-game report from the sphere.
“We performed Brandywine Little League. We had 27 hits and 22 RBIs with 24 runs scored. Our protection was glorious and our pitching, together with Xavier Lehmann, Brian Stone, Tyler McCarthy, Bennett Harrison and Toby Carmel, saved the BW LL to 7 runs. WS Hawks play Torrington LL, the Connecticut State Champs, Friday morning at 9 am.
That is the primary time within the league’s 36-year historical past that one among its groups has received a state championship and superior to the regionals.
Go Hawks!

RACING NOTES
- Jockey Jose Batista was the only rider to win twice on Friday, guiding Greyzer ($5.40) to win a starter allowance easily in race five for trainer Karla De Jesus and then, two races later, piloting Street Glide ($5.80) to a just-in-time allowance win for trainer Juan Arriagada…

7. Magnificent Ride

🎃👻🍬 Welcome to our 2024 Halloween Guide 🍬👻🎃
Halloween is making a statement everywhere right now.
End caps of grocery stores overflow with bags of candy corn and mini chocolate bars. Skeletons and witches loom throughout the neighborhood, and farms, bars, breweries, museums and other venues are ready to entertain you, scare you silly, or both.
So, whether your idea of Halloween is a trunk or treat with other families, chased with streaming “Hocus Pocus,” or it’s more zombie run and Frightland, we’ve got you:
Right up there with apple-picking, corn mazes and haunted houses, pumpkin-picking has become a fall traditiion for many.
In 2020 alone, as many as 66,200 acres of pumpkins were harvested in the United States, producing over 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins that year, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service.
From the classic orange jack-o’-lantern to the whimsical Cinderella’s coach, pumpkins are a staple of the season – and many are ripe and ready to be picked.
Here’s where – and how – you can pick your perfect pumpkin in the First State this fall.
Halloween is just around the corner, and a majority of Americans have begun their planning and shopping for Halloween costumes.
According to the National Retail Federation, an estimated $12.2 billion was spent on Halloween last year across the country, nearly a third of which was spent on costumes, and the shopping wave seems to start earlier and earlier.
Here are some stores around Delaware to look for the perfect costumes and decorations this Halloween season, plus some events and contests that will get the spooky season started.
It’s about that time of year when Halloween costume planning is starting to set in.
If you’re out of classic ideas and looking for something topical and modern, here are some costumes inspired by the happenings of 2024 so that you’re the life of your upcoming Halloween celebration.
Halloween celebrations are filled with plenty of tricks and treats, and while horror-filled fun comes with the season, it may not be suitable for everyone.
Whether you have small kiddos in tow or want something a bit tamer, here are some Halloween celebrations around the state that are perfect for family outings and children of all ages.
Halloween thrill-seekers in Delaware, this spooky season’s events are ready to scare the pants off you, so going commando might not be wise.
Here’s a mix of freaky, witchy and eerie events that will be conjured around the First State, before and after Halloween.
If you thought southern Delaware had a lot of fall events, wait until you see the lineup for Halloween.
You’ll be fighting a candy hangover for months after attending all the parades, haunted houses, fantasy trails and more at or near the Delaware beaches. There’s no shortage of costumed events for adults, children, families, pets and zombies.
Mark your calendars for these events.
Halloween is still just over a month away, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start planning this year’s Halloween party.
Just in time for the spooky season, these Halloween cocktails are unique ways to get into the spirit. If Sober October is more your speed, it’s even easier to make these into equally refreshing alcohol-free beverages.
Delaware is also home to plenty of cocktail bars and breweries that serve fall-inspired drinks.
Here are some recipes to try at home and some Halloween-inspired brews to look for in Delaware.
There is no replacing trick-or-treating on Halloween. Kids and parents in costume greeting their neighbors and getting their favorite candy creates memories that can last a lifetime.
If you want an earlier start on the Halloween fun, there are some trunk-or-treats around the First State that can get everyone warmed up for holiday itself.
Trunk-or-treats are events where people park their cars and give out candy in a parking lot. Instead of a neighborhood, it’s a lot and instead of houses, it’s car trunks. Community center and churches are common places to see these events.
Grab a bucket, bag or pillowcase, throw on a costume and check out some of these trunk-or-treats in all three Delaware counties right as Halloween season is in full swing.
In the home state of Dogfish Head’s iconic Punkin Ale, craft breweries take fall seriously.
Over the next month, breweries will roll out autumnal-themed events tying all sorts of things ― horror comics, candy, brunches and cooking and pet costume contests ― to, well, beer, of course.
So grab your favorite flannel and make some plans to celebrate pumpkin season with some of the state’s best beer-makers.
The calendar has turned over to October meaning the clock is ticking for your Halloween preparations.
McDonald’s is ready, according to the Instagram site @snackolator. The fast food giant is bringing back Boo Buckets.
This Halloween season, forget about ghosts: The scariest thing is what the holiday does to the environment.
According to Waste Managed, Halloween generates a significant amount of waste, from discarded single-use costumes to nondisposable decorations to plastic candy bags.
Luckily, there are several ways to help curb your carbon footprint this year, but also make for fun new traditions for the whole family to enjoy.
Here are a few tricks-slash-treats you can help make for a sustainable and spook-tacular Halloween season.
As Halloween approaches, many revelers are eager to elevate their costumes with makeup but aren’t sure how to achieve their desired looks.
While envisioning a face painted hauntingly white, intricately marked with swirls of black paint, hollow eye sockets and adorned with red petal flowers, they end up with makeup that feels dry, coverage that looks uneven and fades quickly.
However, with the right tools and a bit of practice, anyone can bring their Halloween vision to life.
Whether you’re leaning toward creative glam or venturing into special effects and fantasy looks, Delaware-based makeup artists Daysla Ixtli and Chyna “Chy” Gibbs have expert tips to help you nail your spooky transformation.
It’s the spookiest time of the year and, in some cases, the only time you’ll see most of your neighbors.
Halloween is on the horizon, as shown by the holiday displays at local grocery stores, Walmarts and Targets.
Here’s what you need to know about Halloween.
Check out some creepy houses of Halloweens past.
Here are some tips to ensure a safe night of Halloween trick-or-treating.
