Once upon a time, a family in the
Briers North Subdivision decided to add some
larger-than-life decorations to their home for Halloween. A number of people
stopped by to admire them and began trick-or-treating in our quiet
neighborhood.
The next year, encouraged by the positive response, more families
decorated
their homes and wore costumes to give candy to trick-or-treaters. Even
more
visitors came by to trick-or-treat that Halloween. And so the tradition
grew until the number of visitors in 2004 was estimated
in excess of 5,000. Halloween @ Briers North continues to bring visitors
from
around Georgia, as well as from outside of the state. The community's
households all contribute to the celebration: whether it is
distributing candy, adding decorations, or paying for the cost of
Police to direct traffic and keep everyone safe. You may even find a
haunted
house or two!
Trick-or-treating will be welcomed in Briers North
Subdivision
ONLY
from 6 pm to 8:30 pm on Wednesday, October
31, 2012.
Parking For 2012:
We have learned that
North Peachtree Baptist Church at the corner
of
Tilly Mill and North Peachtree will not be holding a fall festival this year.
The church has donated the use of the parking lot to their Explorer
Scouts. The Scouts will be raising funds by accepting donations for parking
at the church parking lot. Help out the Explorer Scouts when you come to see us
at Halloween.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR OUR HALLOWEEN

RISK. This is a public event on public streets and is NOT sponsored
by any association or group. Briers North assumes no liability or responsibility
for visitors.
- THERE IS NO PARKING INSIDE THE BRIERS NORTH SUBDIVISION.
The size of the crowds prohibits vehicle traffic. Only emergencies
will be accommodated. If you must park nearby, be sure to do so legally;
residents of nearby subdivisions can and will have cars towed if left on their

- NO PETS ALLOWED during trick-or-treating.
- PLEASE RESPECT THE RESIDENTS' PROPERTY. Yards are usually
roped off, both for their protection and the safety of our visitors. Please do
not enter fenced-off areas or enter private property without permission. Most
residents do not permit trick-or-treat visitors in their homes.
- DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTED at the entrance of Briers North
Subdivision to offset the substantial cost of police and safety equipment. If
you enjoy the festivities, please help us continue the tradition of keeping it
safe. Resident Safety Patrols will be working with Police to help out
with any issues. Look for the blue and yellow vests for help with lost children,
etc.

Safety Patrols will start clearing the streets at this time. No additional
visitors will be let into the subdivision. Residents will stop distributing
candy by 9:00 pm and all non-residents will be asked to leave. The celebration
will be over at 9:30 pm so our residents can rest.
Most of all, HAVE FUN!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM BRIERS NORTH
