It’s Halloween night, so here’s an open thread time to report all of your Halloween adventures!

As in years past, “Talk about your candy stomach ache, bumps in the night, or the cutest Halloween costume that came to your door.  It’s totally up to you.”

A note from the Decatur Police Department regarding Halloween…

Every Halloween, the Decatur Police Department has additional employees on duty throughout the entire City. To supplement regular staffing, additional Police Officers, Investigators, CAPS volunteers and Command Staff will patrol neighborhoods, parks, school properties, the Decatur Cemetery and business districts in marked patrol cars, unmarked cars, bicycles and on foot.  During Halloween there is more vehicular and pedestrian traffic in residential neighborhoods, including many children who may be distracted and not paying attention.  So please be extra cautious and aware.

Remember, if you have given out all your “treats” or you do not want to participate, turn off the front lighting at your home.  Also, if you see or hear things that seem stranger than what you would expect from Halloween fun or it is later in the evening, call the Decatur Police Department at .

We want everyone to have a safe, fun and spooktacular Halloween. For safety tips, check out the following link to the “Playing it Safe on Halloween” brochure published by the National Crime Prevention Council.

Happy Halloween!

I just remembered that we’ve done this in years past and actually a lot of fun – an open thread to report your Halloween adventures.

Talk about your candy stomach ache, bumps in the night, or the cutest Halloween costume that came to your door.  It’s totally up to you.

Happy Halloween!

Are there any fun events for adults going on in or around Decatur on Halloween? The Twain’s party sounds fun, but I thought I would see what else is out there.

Thanks!

I’m a bit outta the loop in terms of other ghoulish “adult” functions around Decatur, so I’m appealing to you gentle readers.
