Trick or Treaters Enjoy Fairhaven

<< Back to archives | Sunday, October 31, 2004

Little goblins and parents packed the streets of Fairhaven on a crisp, colorful and dry autumn afternoon today. This is the third year of shops providing candies and treats to the kids. It started at 3 pm and continued to 6 pm.

Shop owner James Might is confronted by goblins and he does the sensible thing - gives them candy. All over Historic Fairhaven the merchants dressed up, decorated their doorways and gave the little ones a fun time.

Death meets a witch on 10th Street and a smiling fairy godmother smiles on the meeting. Yes, that is Connie of the Village Inn under that tall hat, playing her role to the hilt.

Gordy Tweit spent hours taking over 700 photos of all the little ones. Spinnaker Photo will process them at no cost and they will be posted in the Fairhaven Pharmacy windows. Gordy started taking Halloween photos in the 1960s and has been doing it every year since - 40 years. Thanks Gordy.

After display, photos can be picked up by parents. Check the Pharmacy windows later this week. We’ll post notice here.

A pumpkin decorating contest took place on the Village Green. It was also just a fun place to get off the packed streets. A great afternoon was had by over a thousand kids in a safe and fun environment. Historic Fairhaven has just the right ambience to be the most fun Halloween party place. Till next year.

You can also enjoy the photos from 2003 and 2002.
