Halloween Costumes for Kids in My Neighborhood

Where I live the local community does the coolest thing for Halloween. They block off a few blocks along one street. Then they set up people in front of homes at different stations so to speak, who give out candy to kids who walk up and down the street. It's great. It's safe. Fun. Parents love it. Kids love it. The city supports it.

The amazing thing is how many people it attracts. Hundreds of kids and parents, many of whom I'm sure are from other areas of the city.

It's neat just to go and watch. It's like watching a halloween parade. You can see all kinds of cool costumes and if you're really into it, you can volunteer to help out. You need to voluteer ahead of time as they like to have a handle on who is doing what, as well as who you are.

The whole thing lasts about two or three hours with a constant stream of people coming and going. The first time I saw it I was amazed at how many people it attracted. We're all looking forward to it this year. All we need is some good weather.
