The leaf dropping ceremony happened in the middle of Market Street and I foolishly expected real leaves and to maybe find out why dropping leaves was significant. But it's ok, multicolored paper leaves shaped like clubs on playing cards shot out of boxes on light poles with fans will also suffice.
We asked where we could take one of the hayrides and got the reply: "Well, there isn't any hay this year". So we modified our question to ask where we could find one of these hay-less wagons. Turns out, it's more of a carriage, and expensive. Instead, we just watched people take hay-less hay rides with fancy horses.
One of the shops that was still open for the festival was a deluxe dog store. This shop was evil. They had all of these treats out that were Halloween themed, but FOR DOGS. I almost ate one.
The makeshift pumpkin patch was fun. We especially liked the ghosts, but not the mosquitos.
On our way back to the car, while still laughing about the paper leaves, we came across a wonderfully decorated Halloween themed house. The owners had built a false front and turned their yard into a haunted pirate ship.
I didn't take any pictures of the inflatables they had set up for little kids, but a whole street was dedicated to them. Normally, you can only go on inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and bouncy houses if you're wearing socks. Well...not the rule here. I silently shuddered as the hundreds of children happily bounced around and mashed their faces into each others athlete's foot.
Creepy moment of the night: Where the hell did Hello Kitty come from?
