Halloween in Elmore.
I have never seen a town, no matter the size, get more into Halloween than little old Elmore, Ohio. I’m serious. It started last night with the Halloween parade, yes…that’s right…a parade through town a few nights BEFORE Halloween. There is the business trick or treating tomorrow afternoon and then it really comes to a head on Haloween night when the town’s kids (and this town is SWARMING with kids) come out in mass to trick-or-treat. It’s not only Elmore’s kids…but kids from all over come to Elmore because it’s apparently the best place in NW Ohio to trick-or-treat. The cops shut down streets for it!
The adults in town get into it as much as the kids do too. More than half the houses in town have orange lights and probably 90 percent are decorated up to the max with orange and black and spooky things. It’s really amazing. We’ve got some cute orange pumpkin type things up….joy. I’ll try to get some photos on Thursday night of the streets just swarming with kids…our first year here it just floored us. I had NO clue!
I’ve never liked Halloween.

I love Halloween! ‘cept I have class, so I can’t go out trick-or-treating 🙁
That’s cool that Elmore gets themelves so excited, it seemed to be a nice little town when I came to your house last time. I would love to live in a small, cozy little town like yours if I did not have to drive so far to work everyday.
This year BK and I are throwing another Fall Harvest party for the kids at his house, complete with candy, pumpkin carving, grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, and even a big old mean bonfire. This is the second year for us doing this party, and we like it alot more than following the ritual Pagan beliefs of Halloween. We get kids from many different churches, and even some unchurched, who just want to come and have a good, safe time with their families.
Not that Halloween is bad and evil, it is just something that I prefer not to let my family be involoved in due to my Christian beliefs. Uh oh, I got back up on my soapbox again. Sorry…
