Halloween 2009

Halloween in Potwin Place is an event unlike any other. It starts a week in advance with a neighborhood block party. Hot dogs, chili and s'mores were served. A special parade was held for the neighborhood kids. Some of them were really scary ... like the zombie ballerina:
Halloween night is amazing. Tricksters come and keep coming. While we don't count them, our neighbor counted 1,486 tricksters. Many of the neighbors plan elaborate themes including talking Zultan ...
and flying ghost over graveyards ... complete with a scary gravedigger.
The parade of kids at our house is best described as a blur:
Helen is wise. She invites friends to enjoy (and help serve) the parade of kids. Here are some of the hearty helpers:
This morning we saw that even our circle experienced a friendly Halloween trick.
Here's hoping everyone had a safe and fun Halloween.

I am absolutely amazed how many children come to your house to trick-or-treat! You have a one-of-a-kind neighborhood with a community flare that is unique. It is wonderful.

I love the photos...it was almost like being there. :-)
