Sweet
Memories How readers capture the Halloween spirit
A
rare full moon — a blue one at that — will rise into the evening sky on Halloween this year. For the abnormal year that’s been 2020, why should we expect the annual celebration of the paranormal to be normal? Whether the pandemic and social distancing will affect traditional Halloween activities like door-todoor trick-or-treating, Haunted Houses, hayrides and parties remains to be seen. But not even COVID-19 will scare off folks from decorating their homes and finding ways to have small get-togethers. No matter what memories are made this Halloween, it won’t affect the memories and the costumes from the past. Earlier this year, Indiana Connection asked readers to share photos and stories of their favorite Halloween memories, costumes and decorations. Some 65 readers submitted over 100 photos and shared memories of Halloweens past. Some of our favorites are presented here. In addition, we drew five names randomly from all those submitted for $50 prizes for submitting their memories. Those five readers are listed on page 24.
