Luckily, the area has some events for the children. On Thursday I took my seven-year-old grandson to the Halloween Festival at Silver Springs Nature Park. They had games for the kids, magic shows, and the greatest monster maze.
Last night we went to the local mall which has a special Halloween event each year. There were hundreds and hundreds of costumed kids and adults ... it was one great big party and we had a blast!
My late husband was a law enforcement officer and we dressed my grandson in some of grandpop's uniform. He wore the hat, which was too big, had a real badge, nightstick, handcuffs, and carried a summons book. He was so cute!
I think it's wonderful that more rural communities make such arrangements for the children to enjoy. Out in the country, the homes are spaced way too far apart for the little tykes to go door-to-door.
