Adorable? - Not!

These two
scary looking individuals, and many other mysterious characters, were
spotted walking the streets of Eatonville
Saturday, October 29. Dawn Newkirk, owner of Dawn's Floral and Gifts,
spearheaded the effort by downtown businesses to offer treats for kids
during the afternoon, and before the arrival of Halloween. These two
slipped away so quickly we were unable to ascertain their
identities.
ENN's informal survey of Eatonville
businesses indicated the first annual event was a happy and safe one. A
lot of kids turned out for it, and they and the businesses are eager to
do it again next year. ENN doesn't have a scientific candy meter,
however, it is estimated that over one-hundred-thirty pounds of the
sweet stuff found its way into sacks, pails and pumpkins.

A. J. and T.
J. Goetz, non-identical twins, visited the Tall Timbers restaurant for a
candy treat during the daylight Trick-or-Treat event put on by
downtown businesses on Saturday afternoon. When asked by Eileen
Staffanson (behind counter) what do they say, the two boys, perhaps
feeling it was still too early for Halloween, replied simply,
"Please."

Adorable?
Yes!

From atop the lunch counter at the
Tall Timbers, 15-month-old Alexis Potter gazes in wonder at the parade
of kids going by in colorful costumes. Her mother, Jennifer, watches
her admiringly.
Adorable?
Yes! Whitney is almost a Witch...

At Dawn's Floral and Gifts,
Whitney Wienholz, disguised as a witch, digs eagerly into the bowl of
treats offered by Chelsea Newkirk, a junior at Eatonville High, during
the special daylight Trick or Treat event. Chelsea, perhaps channeling
a character from "Beetlejuice," portrayed a "dead"
dirt biker.
Whitney
Gets a Handful...

Whitney makes off with an extra fistful, as Chelsea turns to look at
the camera.
Hogwarts
Magic?

Joanne
Weidig, Whitney Wienholz and Chelsea Newkirk pose for the camera. But
wait, is Joanne now wearing the cape previously worn by Whitney? How
did they make the switch? Did they do it at Hogwarts?
Not
Easy Being Green...

Little Dezanae Canly, perhaps bewildered by the Trick-or-Treaters of
every description passing by her, stopped
and struck a wistful pose, peering into the camera lens outside the
Tall Timbers Restaurant.
Not
the Grim Reaper...

"I
am not the Grim Reaper," said Gavan Linton, "I'm supposed to
be the Phantom and have bloodshot eyes."

Hades, an eight-month-old American pitbull terrier, came dressed as an
angel. Hades wore his costume without
any complaints.
