Last night was the big "Bootiful Nauvoo" Halloween Town Party. It is a BIG DEAL here! There were probably 2,000 - 3,000 people that came for the event! Over 500 carved and lit pumpkins lined the streets for people to enjoy seeing great designs!  A small parade kicked off the event and our Historic Nauvoo Mission had a "Crazy band" float! We had lots of crazy instruments and had fun Halloween music playing as we went down the Main Street of town. Trust me when I say we definitely had some "crazy people" on the float too! The parade was over in 15 minutes but it gave kids and families the opportunity to walk in a parade in costumes!

The horses were really put to the test with all the noise and craziness going on!

The Girl Scouts lead the parade

I couldn't resist jumping in with the Girl Scouts

The Ghost Buster car arrived to be in the parade

The Ghost Busters came to hand out candy along the parade route

Here we go!

Tried to take a picture while heading down the parade route - didn't work too good!

We sure had a "Crazy" time playing our "Crazy" instruments and watching the Hatch's try to dance.
A fun time was had by all!

 Here are just a sample of the lighted pumpkins along the Main Street before my phone died and pictures stopped! Darn......

I carved the two easy ones in the middle!

Everywhere you can see little lights are where the pumpkins are......
