Halloween On The Sidewalk


Holidays are different this year. How do you keep the fun in Halloween without running the risk of inadvertently passing along the coronavirus? My neighborhood dreamed up a "scavenger hunt" of sorts. Armed with a list of clues and locations, families decked out in costumes searched for a witch in the bushes or the dog in among the tombstones. My sidewalk jack-o-lanterns and ghost sported glittery eyes. No one was deprived of a satisfactory haul of candy. It was clipped to fences, spread out on tables or sent down pipes to land in trick or treat bags. The candy will soon be eaten but memories of the Adventurous Halloween of 2020 will remain.
