It never fails: Trick-or-Treat was touch-and-go, weather-wise. We always worry about those tiny revelers getting too damp. But the clouds parted and the rain stopped
just in time for the Halloween Hoopla here on Bainbridge Island. And oooooh... the monsters - big and small - turned out to scour Downtown Winslow for Treats to Devour.
At the Witching Hour (4 pm), the Gallery and
Bainbridge Crepes teamed up at tables set up on the Plaza with big baskets of candy for all the kids and families, ready to satisfy any critter's sweet tooth. And as always, the hordes showed up in force. We are delighted to share some photos from this annual event. The images are grouped for your enjoyment - the usual
suspects (skeletons and pirates), lovely princesses, literary and media
characters, scary yet cute animals, family fun, and some clever takes on the weather and
IRS. And a few Adorables that stood out in the crowd.
Never fear, wade right in, take a good long look, and enjoy the ghouls, ghosts and goodies!
The Weather Improves. Main Street Closes to Cars.
