The Teens Take Over! Local organizations host Halloween-themed teen event at rec center BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A poolside screening of “Hocus Pocus” wouldn’t be complete unless the skeletons had their own innertubes. On Friday night, teenagers took over the rec center in Idaho Springs for Halloween-themed fun. Along with the movie at the pool, the teens held a costume contest, made intention sticks, danced at the silent disco, and ate lots and lots of candy. The Clear Creek Metropolitan Recreation District, Mountain Youth Network, Resilience1220, and YoungLife organized the event and invited teens in their respective networks to the Rec Center Takeover. At least 50 attended, including some from surrounding counties. Lakewood’s Aero Wood said she heard about the event through Resilience1220 and brought her friend, Wheat Ridge’s Ryli Litz, as well. Wood said she enjoys Halloweentype events and decided to dress as Darth Vader for the occasion. Wood and Litz were among those who made intention sticks with
