Halloween

Ashland City Halloween Party

Halloween in Ashland was a circus and a party put together. We got done with school and work about 4 last Friday and sure enough, we started to get trick or treaters right away. Matt set out on our front porch the smoking skull, which was a huge hit. I was busy carving our pumpkin at the last minute, which was a great Frankenstein in the end.
Then we went up to the university to see what was going on. Not a huge hit, so we headed into town. We got one of the only parking spots left on the street and walked around for a bit. It was crazy. There was a few thousand people with in the city, and every single person young and old was dressed up except Matt and I. We had no idea how serious people were about Halloween. We sat at one of the many local resturants and grabbed a bite to eat, since we had not ate yet, and just watched all the people in costume.
I swear we did not see one exact repeat costume. For example, there were many pirates but not one looked the same as the other. We saw faries, monsters, robots, tv characters, cartoons, star wars, toys, and more. Next year we will for sure dress up if we go out again, now we know.
