A Safe Halloween

by Lori on November 4, 2008

The sense of community in this small town is great. Halloween is one example of our town supporting a family event wholeheartedly.  Around 5pm on October 31, the 100 East and West blocks of Elkhorn Avenue are blocked off and the trick-or-treaters descend on downtown.  Local businesses hand out candy to all the kids (or adults??). There are firetrucks, police cars and a haunted ambulance parked in the streets for the kids to tour. Laura’s Fudge hands out 4000 caramel apples! Ed’s Cantina had a haunted maze this year for kids brave enough to enter. The TV station interviewed trick-or-treaters and then they play it back on their station all week.  I know Elkhorn Properties handed out at least 30 pounds of candy.  We had a great time greeting friends and clients and making new friends too.  This was a safe, family friendly environment for the kids to enjoy Halloween and I just want to thank the businesses and volunteers that made it possible.

Here is my broker, Mike Carnes, who grew his hair out just for Halloween.
