clarification
On Halloween night, October 31st, several volunteers from the Borough of Robesonia hosted an event to provide candy and hot beverages to the children and parents in the community who were trick or treating.
The volunteers were dressed in costume to help make the event more enjoyable. One of the volunteers had his 14-year old Granddaughter assist him with makeup for a zombie costume.
A participant at the event took a picture of this volunteer (at night) under the misconception that the costume was a form of blackface.
Nothing could be further from the truth and the entire Borough Council, staff and Police Department are saddened by this assumption.
We sincerely hope that this clears up the matter for anyone thinking that this event was anything else other than an enjoyable evening for the community.
