Trick or Treat on Main Street

November 2, 2012 by Susan Shay 11 Comments

Don’t you love a Small Town World? Every year for a long time here in C-Town, merchants, churches, insurance companies and whoever wants to line up on Broadway so the can kids have a SAFE Halloween. (It’s really called Trick or treat on Broadway, but I like the rhythm of Main Street better. 🙂

Did you have a happy Halloween?

I did! I happened to have my camera with me when the kiddos started gathering for the annual candy free-for-all, so I took a little walk. (Doctor’s orders. Right?)

I decided to go see Brother Jeffrey and his wife, Little Red Riding Hood–er–Julie.

I only planned to stay a moment, but I had too much fun to take off right away.

I can’t even tell you which was my favorite costume. There were so many cute ones.

I loved this one.

She’s wearing an Indian Ribbon Dancer’s costume. Beautiful!

These girls are the Rockford Peaches! (I got a high five for getting it right.) Aren’t they adorable?

I loved that movie!

Scarlett was there. (Love that movie, too.)

BTW: If you notice the kids aren’t smiling for the birdie, blame it on Wolf Boy. Most of the little ones were busy keeping an eye on Big Bad. LOL!

A box of popcorn.

Isn’t this little pumpkin a sweetheart? What a doll.

From the very young to the not so young, C-Town comes out to play on Broadway. I’m just glad I don’t have to decide who has the best costume. The were all adorable!

For as long as I can remember, I've loved two things--reading and people--and that led me to become a writer. Many of my stories are set in Small Town Worlds. I'm a wife, mother, sibling and an aunt. I have a deep faith in God, and an exciting life in Christ. Maybe I shouldn't be (after all, he's God!) but I'm constantly amazed at the things He's up to. :)

  Thanks. I learned a lot on that camera trip. I love Halloween, too. Especially now that I’m observing and not participating.

Little Red Riding Hood sure is lookin’ good! She always chooses such cute costumes. Great pictures, although I didn’t recognize many of the kids. The pic of Leightyn is adorable. She’s a doll!!!

  Yeah, I didn’t know them either. Enjoyed them a ton, though. They had a great time. (I did, too.)

Julie is the perfect Little Red Riding Hood. I don’t think of Jeff as the Big Bad Wolf, but he seemed to wear it well! You took pics of a lot of the same ones I did. I LOVED the baseball team girls. How clever. Of course, you have my favorite-pic-of-all-time-…….the real life doll! LL

  We have great taste, Lori! And yes, the real life doll was a favorite for everyone who saw her.
  (I want one.)
