Halloween Parade support awesome

The La Conner Parent Teacher Student Association would like to extend a huge thank you to all of the organizations that helped make the annual Halloween Parade and Trick-or-Treating possible. They include: the Town of La Conner, the Chamber of Commerce, the La Conner Fire Department, the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office detachment, the La Conner High School volunteers, La Conner United, community members and, especially, the generosity of local merchants. Without you, this highly anticipated event would not be possible.

As we all know, COVID-19 has made our communities change many of our traditional activities. Allowing the kids to dress up in costumes and interact with their friends and community members was uplifting to everyone’s spirits.

This year the trick-or-treaters were so excited that many of them started their candy gathering as they walked south down First Street rather than parading first and trick-or-treating on the way back north. Although this may have provided some confusion and a little extra chaos, we hope everyone still had a safe and fabulous time under the late October sun! Next year we will be sure to provide more instructions and have the little ghosts and goblins wait until after they have paraded to gather their treats.

Again, thank you to everyone who partnered with the PTSA and helped bring back this much loved tradition. Your welcomeness and kindness was appreciated by our organization and, most importantly, the children!

With gratitude,

Beth Bowles
