People Share Their Halloween Memories Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent
When I asked citizens what were some of their favorite Halloween memories, I received the following replies. Darren Donovan said his mother passed away in 2020 and she loved decorating for all holidays. “I think of her all the time but even more when it comes times to decorate the house. I grew up in the era of homemade costumes and when Halloween comes around I think back on all the time and effort Mom would put in to that stuff for my brother and I. I’m very thankful for those memories and the photos I’ve found in old albums. Our kids aren’t into having us make costumes but they enjoy all the outside decorations we do. So, I hope we are making great memories for them to look back on later in life.” John Babcock said he will never forget the year that his family ran out of treats to pass along to the kids that came trick or treat. It broke his heart to not have anything to give them so he went to the fridge and gave them some rolls of garlic sausage. “Later, they came back to tell me that was the best treat they

ever received for Halloween,” John admitted. Antoinette Fortier mentioned that she always remembered the year her mother made her a Halloween mask out of cloth for a Halloween party at school. “I think everyone had a different idea of what I was supposed to be. Also, I remember how much I enjoyed seeing the other kids’ Halloween costumes when we went for a walk on Halloween night.” Krystal Fettes said Halloween has always been her favourite holiday. “When I was young it was dressing up and getting together with my friends to run around town and collect candy and possibly scare a few other friends along the way. Then it was helping my children pick their costumes and taking them out to enjoy the wonder of Halloween and seeing all the kids around them. Now decorating my house up as much as possible each year in a new way and seeing the wonder in kids’ eyes as we hand out candy and help create memories for a new generation.”
