Halloween in PA

Over Halloween, this little town comes alive as "Scaryopolis." It's corny, but seems nice for the families and kids. On halloween evening, the community has a costume contest for all of the area kids. They break into groups by age and parade around the circle in the center. The judges pull the best costumes out of the crowd and the winners get some sort of sugary prize. Chris and I could see the whole show from our porch!
I got terrible pictures, but you get the idea:




There were a couple of really cute outfits, including a beagle in a lobster costume and my favorite: a bunch of grapes (think green tights and a green hat with purple balloons from neck to knees!). There were also a few who's parents seemed to have too much time on their hands. Take for example, the Raggedy Anne in a Toybox and her brother, Wall-E:

Both of these were winners, but neither could manage to carry their costumes more than one pass around the circle. Was the candy worth it? We'll probably never know!
