H'WEEN IN DA 'HOOD

 SPOOKTACULAR!    

Tuesday's Neighborhood Halloween Parade

 

     Almost 200 of us gathered on NW 12th Road on October 31 to celebrate All Hallows Eve.  It was our fourth annual Florida Park Halloween Parade and what fun it was.

 All twelve feet of Mr. Bones led the procession with a gaggle of costumed kids close behind.  

    We had a record number of participants because this brother/sister team (Fargo and Foley) created our flyer and helped distribute it.

 

 

King Mango and Petey ("Flyboy") Pig joined me as we got the group rollin' at 6 p.m.

We had our most awesome band ever keeping us in step.

 

 Here are a few photos of our neighbors in costume,

Creepy Parent

This kid was takin' no guff from King Mango. Mom, or Grandma.

Mr. Bones didn't lose a leg like he did last year.  He's so big he's in almost every photo...

Cowgirl Nancy whackin' Chickenhead with her powerful Pink Whoopin' Tube.  That's Wolfman on the left beating  the band's drum.

Neighbors Gina & Lee letting their free pig fly

Steve Harris with his buddy, Howard Miller, and a whole bunch of family rolled with us.

Julie kept asking for the name of a good dentist.      And finally,

We learned that our country's Space Corps is so hard up for recruits they're allowing anyone between the age of one and one hundred to sign up. The parade ended with these two proud enlistees.

                                 _________

Our holiday procession had high spirits and broad smiles. I invited everyone to join December 30th's Flying Pig Parade* in downtown Gainesville.

Why wait a whole year to have this much fun again?
