Boos, Barks and Badges - Halloween Parade

Melissa and I took the kids to the Lee's Summit Halloween parade. It's called Boos, Barks and Badges. Families and their dogs are invited to wear costumes and actually be the parade. There were almost as many dressed up pets as there were costumed children.

After the parade, some of the downtown shops give away candy to the trick or treaters.

Then we stood in line hoping to win the best costume awards. Violet was Cinderella and when she passed by the judges stand she shyly waved to the judges. I thought that might have given her a few points since the judges waved back. Lincoln was Charlie Brown complete with Michael's Snoopy from 35 years ago.

Neither Violet nor Lincoln won the competition but at least the weather cooperated. Whoever heard of 80 degree weather for Halloween.
