Windermere celebrates Halloween at town hall

A record of more than 250 children gathered at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 25 for the Windermere Halloween Hayride and Costume Parade at the town hall. Mayor Gary Bruhn hosted the event, which began with a short parade of the hundreds of children and parents in costumes from Power Rangers to princesses. Inside town hall, children received snacks, such as cookies, popcorn and pretzels, to munch on while Bruhn read Halloween-theme stories. After the stories, families participated in tractor-driven hayrides and went trick-or-treating around local shops.
