Yesterday (Saturday, Oct. 31) I went to the Trunk or Treat at Meyers Park in Herkimer, NY, ostensibly to help with the two tables staffed by my Elks friends. I do not know how much help I was, but I took a couple pictures.
Look how cute they are!
Nobody got a picture of me, but that is really OK. My costume wasn’t such a much.
I mostly helped Liz.
Liz does a lot for drug awareness. She made sure every child got a coloring book on the subject. I handed out the candy. I confess to eating a little myself. I had to make sure it wasn’t poisoned, didn’t I?
I guess that picture didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped.
Before things got started, I walked around looking at other tables but didn’t take a lot of pictures. Some people were just barely setting up at the time.
I tried to zoom in across the park for that shot.
There was a costume parade that ended at the park. It was flanked by a firetruck and police car with lights and sirens going. It was a little loud for me, and any dogs that happened to be nearby.
I did not count the number of kids and families that enjoyed the event, but there were a lot. Now I feel quite finished with Halloween, although I do not rule out looking for a horror movie to view this afternoon. Maybe a cheesy one I can write a blog post about.
