The Lakes neighborhood will once again organize its annual Halloween trick-or-treat on Oct. 31, and keeping with previous years will hold a food drive for Mercer Island Food Pantry. The charitable Halloween tradition began in 1998, when resident Polly Addison set collections boxes at each Lakes entryway, asking visitors to donate non-perishable foods. Since then, the food-drive has become part of the overall Lakes Halloween festivity.
