Had A Fantastic Trick Or Treat Day Yesterday [View all]

I do Halloween up big, I live at the end of a street. I have a regular horror show with animatronics with the main character a witch who holds the bowl of candy, but don't wake her up when reaching for the candy. My grandson comes from Pittsburgh to be a part of the action, we got 396 kids show up yesterday, they come from surrounding towns.

A little girl dressed up as a good witch holding a wand walked up to the witch with her mother, the mother tripped the witch and the witch howled, but the little girl wasn't scared. I have a remote control spider that I bumped against the little girl's foot, the mother tells the girl, that was a spider, and then mom tells me, she's blind. I take the spider and let her feel it, feel the 8 legs as she counts them. Mom then took her around to my other animatronics as I tripped them and mom let her touch them all.

The little girl was so intelligent, she waved her wand and said she was going to make the world so happy. I almost cried, what a beautiful happy child. I told mom she should be proud of her. Our best trick or treater ever, she gave me the best treat of all, my eyes are watery now.
