Views of the Neighborhood – Lakeway Witches Ride

~ John W. Howell

Today, we are celebrating Halloween with the Witches Ride in Lakeway. This is an annual event, and we don’t want to miss it. Kids dress up and take a one-mile ride on anything that doesn’t have a motor. After the ride, there is a carnival for more fun. We will be eating carnival food, and our entertainment is Michael Jackson.

  12. How could I possibly resist a title like Witches Ride? John, you’ve outdone yourself! This is the most fun I’ve had all week. (Okay, it’s Sunday, so I’ll say “IN” the past week. I love Resa’s Paranoid van. Everything was so cool, especially the cotton candy “truck.” Big hugs.

    1. You can. Get a piece of paper and some colored pencils. Now make a pumpkin face on the paper color it and write Happy Halloween. Fold it up and put it on your desk. On October 31st open the paper. There, you have celebrated.

  19. That looks like a fun event. Lakeway seems like a great neighborhood. I am curious about the blurring of the many of the kids lower portion of the face. Is that done in the photo to protect their identity or was it something they had on their faces?

  20. I gotta say, your activity centre is a busy entity. I love that there is always something going on.

    Halloween is so cool! Costumes and candy, what more could a kid want?

    I had a cool thing going with Halloween candy. Much of it would last years. Sure, I ate some, but I’d work hard, gather lots and then I’d hoard.

    The other 2 candy events were Christmas and Easter. All the kids would eat theirs within days, and other than candy canes, which no one liked, most Christmas and Easter candies didn’t last.

    However, I always had a stash. I used it for “favours”. Ha!

    OR trades. Ah, the good ol’ Halloween candy days!
