Approximately 300 people attended, most in costume. andamp;#8220;This was new territory for us,andamp;#8221; said PAC Chairman Mitch Clarin. andamp;#8220;In the past, the PAC held two hour fundraiser events during the week with less than 100 people, appetizers and political speeches.

We are now looking ahead at the 2nd Annual Halloween Ball and Costume Contest.andamp;#8221;PAC Event Chairman Peter Greenberger added: andamp;#8220;Our donors and volunteers deserve a lot of credit for the planning and hard work before, during and after the Ball.
