Hertel Ave. preps for Halloween By Dave Ricci COURIER CORRESPONDENT
Ghost and goblins’ of all shapes and sizes will be on the prowl this weekend as families prepare for the third annual Halloween on Hertel event on Oct.25 from 11am.1pm. “For the past two years we weren’t blessed by the weather gods unfortunately. We’ve had some rain, but they’ve still come out. Kids are hard core when it comes to candy,� event organizer Sarah Nichter said with a laugh. Nichter said that every business on Hertel Ave. is welcomed and encouraged to take part in the Halloween on Hertel walk. But the bulk of
the foot traffic, based on the first two years, seems to be centered between Saranac to Wellington. Nichter said there will be
plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy as kids prime themselves for Halloween. The North Park Theater
will be showing the Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd classic “Ghost Busters� as it’s weekend discount matinee movie that weekend as well.

The Chuck E. Cheese mascot will be roaming about handing out cotton candy, photographer Tess Connolly will be on hand taking professional quality photos. Nichter said having Connolly available to take photos will allow mom’s and dad’s more time to enjoy the walk with their children without having to worry about fumbling around to take photos themselves. “And she’ll give you the proof of it so you can have it printed. To have someone there who’s a professional, to actually their attention for five seconds, is always really nice.� Floral Explorations will be hosting a free pumpkin painting event. Being held on Oct.25, early
in the day, is a two-fold benefit for families looking for trick or treat fun. It won’t interfere with traditional trick or treat time on Halloween night or conflict with parties. Most of all it provides yet another safe, family-friendly event for people of North Buffalo. Participating businesses have orange and white “Halloween on Hertel� signs hanging in their windows to signify they are a stop along the walk. “The kids have made it a game. It’s like a treasure hunt for them almost,� said Nichter. “They’ll walk be and they’ll scream ‘there’s one!’ And it’s sooo cute to hear them because they go all excited. So that in itself becomes an activity for them. It’s like where’s Waldo? It’s so cool.�
