Sadly we have no more children visiting on Halloween night. A tradition that failed from fear, I think. I miss the little ones the most!
Giggles and oohahs fill the streets
With tapping boots from tiny feet
Little ghosts dressed in holey sheets
Large bags or baskets to hold treats
Halloween goblins need to eat.

Cheryl, I know that libraries, museums, and other places have public Halloween celebrations. I bet you could get a good dose of kids in costumes at one of those places. I’ll be going to one with my granddaughter later this week. Really looking forward to it.
