Nothing to do tonight except go trick or treating? Consider this party:

Tucson Chinese Cultural Center is having a Halloween Party, 5 to 8 p.m. at their lovely center at 1288 W. River Rd. (east of La Canada, north side).

Free admission to costume contest, games for the kids, candy (of course) for those who trick or treat. Pizza $2 per slice, drinks $1 (what a deal). All families are welcome.

And there will be a scary Tucson Chinese School haunted house.

For more info:

Happy Halloween to all. Be safe tonight.
