Despite this past weekend’s dire events in our ‘hood, we are happy to report some positive, fun news. GWNA held its first ever Kids Halloween Fiesta this past Saturday morning. It was a tremendous success.
I estimate that at least 60-70 people stopped by, with a third to half of them being cute kids in costume. Somehow, we also plowed through a bushel of 55 mini-pumpkins.
Overall, much mirth ensued, including fabulous works of pumpkin art, mass consumption of sweets and plenty of neighborly conversation with new acquaintances.
Huge props to Kami McLochlin for organizing the event and special thanks to Irma Perres and the CPD for keeping a watchful eye on things. Also, thanks a million to everyone who donated time, candy, and decoration collateral—the kids loved it.
We have plenty of pics too:
1) For a quick summary of shots, see the slideshow below.

[PLEASE NOTE: If you are a parent who wants to download a photo of your kid and can't figure out the Flickr interface (it's less intuitive than it should be), just post a comment below to that effect and I can walk you through it.]
Thanks again to everyone for making this happen!

Thanks Mark, that greyhound costume was wonderful… love the intense expression on that cowboy’s face.
