Montclarions showed up in droves for today’s Halloween Parade, and were decked out in their finest costumes.  After reviewing all the photos we snapped this afternoon, it’s time to reveal our award winners – including people and pooches.  We hope you enjoy them.

The People

First, we noticed the one-of-a-kind paraders.  This little girl caught our eye several times, as she’s dressed as a cute and colorful flower-child here.  Isn’t she sweet?

Next, these medieval jousters looked ready to go forth and protect the castle.  We watched them sticking together the whole time, and they were a matched pair time-traveling from the Middle Ages.

The Pooches

This dog-angel was very energetic and having a very good time, waiting for the parade to begin.  We tried to get her to pose, but realized a more natural photo op was best to share with you.

Another pooch, complete with prison garb, really made  me laugh!  Prisoner Number K9 was happily strolling around the Village and inspecting things after the parade was over.

The Mixed Family

You know that families resemble their pooches, and vice-versa.  Here’s a group of bees, including a mother, son and dog.  Among all the parade attendees, this was the only mixed family to dress completely alike – and they looked great together.

So those are my award winners from this afternoon.  There was an Elvis, a peacock, three Dorothy’s, and too many princesses and firemen to keep count.  We also noticed creepier folks like ghosts, witches and other ghoulish types walking in the light of day.

Mostly we saw many excited kids, who were simply thrilled to be parading and trick-or-treating their way through the Village.  We know tomorrow is the real Halloween, so have a great day!
