Friends,<\/p>\n

There isn’t really any conventional door to door trick-or-treating here in my little town. The houses are too far apart and it gets really dark (and spooky!) once you’re out of the range of either of the two street lights. Hence, the Idyllwild Hallowe’en Parade (or Harvest Parade or Pumpkin Festival Parade or something like that) and the turnout this year was the largest I can remember so here are a lot more pictures than I can remember ever posting. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a> \"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s nice to see the families get out.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

And the Roma people.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

And the hoards in a queue, but what are they waiting for?<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh just for Steve at Idyllwild Heating to pour buckets of candy over their heads. Yeah, no kidding.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey Gingerbread Man, bring buckets of candy and we’ll talk.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of the businesses down North Circle Drive had buckets of treats to share.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s good business, because it helps you earn a good reputation with the nicer people in town.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

But why wasn’t anybody lining up for cider? Because it was two bucks a cup, perhaps.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe some people were waiting for something a little stronger.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the best shot of the throngs I could manage. There had to be hundreds of people there.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

And jellyfish.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

And dogs dressed up like squirrels.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

And a guy who dressed up as Elvis, but may have been a little distracted—by himself.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

The people who were chose a theme were fun. I see what they’re doing here.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

But I don’t get this. Any help?<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe I should’ve asked these guys.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

I showed this picture to our own Idyllwild Weather Clam who was confused and wondered what the shark was supposed to be.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Claudius and Helena brought their daughter Moonbeam. Always good to see the local time travelers getting out and about.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s sexy sailor girl posing with sexy Scooby Doo.<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

Pippi says what?<\/p>\n

\"Idyllwild<\/a><\/p>\n

“That’s the end of the parade!”<\/p>\n
