The Argelets get out of school in just a few minutes and I can't wait to get them in their costumes for trick-or-treating. The youngest is going as Felix the Cat (his favorite cartoon - go figure), and the oldest is going as a ninja.
Festivities in Alton start at 4pm at the school with a pumpkin decorating contest, games, etc., at the school. Trick-or-treat starts at 5pm and goes until 7pm. The area around Main St., School St., Barnes Ave., and up to Old Wolfeboro Rd will be PACKED with kids. Lots of police and fire dept personnel on hand to help with the crowd. Some businesses have cookouts and sometimes a DJ playing. It's like the town has one big block party.
I've lived all over the country and I've never seen a town enjoy Halloween like this one!
