Halloween 2019 was cold. Let me say that louder ... IT WAS COLD. With the temperature hovering around 32 degrees, only the intrepid ventured out ... approximately 1,600 of them.
Fortunately, we had lots of volunteer helpers, who were possibly enticed by the promise of mega pizzas and craft beers. Volunteers and visitors included Dad, Nancy, Lynn, Paul, Toni, Keegan, Blake, Myriah, Sheena, Harry, Haley, Jason, Hadley, and Eleanor. Baili of the Washburn International Program brought 6 Japanese exchange students to experience their first American Halloween. We also loved seeing Samantha's childhood friend, Hannah, who stopped by with her husband and toddler Georgia from London.
We also got a welcome visit from Cal and Heather with their children allowing us to help celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Our dear friends Mark and Kris also visited. We reminisced about their marriage in our living room 31 years ago on November 1st.
So, even if the temperature was COLD, we felt lots of warmth.
