Fairhaven overwhelmed by Goblins and Princesses

What was most amazing wasn’t how many little goblins and princesses there were - but how polite they all were.  As I went up and down the streets, the parents coached their kids to say ‘thank you’.  The little ones did not grab, they asked by saying “trick or treat”.  The sidewalks were jammed and yet everyone adjusted and gave others needed room.  One couple I talked to said they were struck with the politeness and it sort of brought it home to me.  Yes, the historic streets of Fairhaven were jammed with thousands of kids and their parents this afternoon, but they all enjoyed themselves.

Fairhaven professional photographer, Mark Turner, has posted dozens of his photos of Trick or Treaters in Fairhaven.  We thank Mark. 

James Might of Renaissance Celebration Gallery sat in his usual overstuffed chair at his front door, as he does every year.

At the Fairhaven Pharmacy, Gordie Tweit was taking photos as he has since 1963. 

The photos Gordie takes are available free for pickup at the pharmacy starting later this week. 

Up at 12th Street Shoes, little Kaleigh got into giving out the candy to other little ones.

Everyone was in costume and having fun.  Diane plants a kiss on Rich. 

At Covet Boutique, in McKenzie Alley, Sally sat on one of her unusual pieces and met the little ones.

Yep, that is the last piece of candy.  Neal of Katie’s Cupcakes started with 1,800 pieces of candy at 3 pm.  At about 5:30, this little cutie got the last one.  Fairhaven merchants very much enjoy getting into the fun of Halloween.  We invite you back next year.
