Trick or Treat Tradition Continues along the Shoreline
Ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and skeletons made their way up the walkway of the Girden-Barkan home on the corner of Soundview Drive to wish the party-goers a happy halloween, pick their favorite candies, and continue on their way to the next home along the shoreline. Residents in the Compo neighborhood remarked at how many trick-or-treaters had come through their candy bowls in just a few short hours, with most houses running out of stock while most kids made their ways home by the 8 o’clock hour.
