Halloween Safe Walk.
For a some time Dearborn Street is THE place for families to "Trick or Treat" on Halloween - the street is closed to traffic, local police presence is visible and all the candy is pre-inspected to ensure that it is safe. As a result, hundreds of families come downtown to fill their bags.
The variety of costumes ranged from inspired to unique, store bought and home made, all combining to make this one of the really fun events of the year. We even had Ichabod Crane, the headless horseman, riding his horse downtown.
Many revelers brought their pets with them, also dressed in costume, and there was a contest hosted by Paws and Claws for the best costumed pet.
Head on over to the Englewoodfl.us website to see some of the other youngsters, and not so young, dressed to kill.
Cruizin on Dearborn
The first Saturday of every month is Cruizin on Dearborn, where collectors of classic cars bring their pride and joy to the downtown area to show them off to the public.
It is obvious that a lot of investment of time and money have been put into these automobiles and they are well worth seeing.
There
are always a significant number of Chevrolets, Fords, Corvettes,
Pontiacs, among the "normal" domestic cars plus quite a few exotic
machines such as AC Cobras, Panthers, hotrods and other muscle cars.
