Halloween in May

There was a Halloween Parade on my street yesterday.

Really.

After the chaos of the previous few days, it was a welcome, if somewhat incongruous event. Evidently it was a ‘prize’ in a local contest where the winner had a short parade go through their neighborhood. A ladder truck from the fire department led the procession, followed by Princesses on a float (wearing masks) and a couple of convertibles with more masked princesses. Another firetruck wrapped up the end of the short procession and then life returned to normal in my sleepy little town.
