Halloween festivities, along with the traditional trick-or-treating, started bright and early Saturday morning. And what a beautiful morning it was! Bright sunshine and unusually warm temperatures made for a pleasant day, with no need for the bulky snowsuits that often hide costumes during Interior Alaska Halloweens. Temperatures hovered near and above freezing throughout the day.
The Trophy Grill was first to dole out the sweets, opening its doors to trick-or-treaters at 6 a.m. Acacia Floral followed at 10 a.m., welcoming those in search of a little Halloween candy, with Delta Building Supply joining in at 10:45 a.m. Other local businesses opened their doors throughout the day to welcome area goblins, witches and an assortment of fairytale characters.
As night fell, Halloween festivities continued throughout the community. Brewis Subdivision lit up its displays at 5:30 p.m., while Old Harbor Road, Creekside Drive, and Center Lane once again transformed into a Halloween destination. Celebrating its fifth consecutive year, the neighborhood extended an open invitation to the entire community to explore the decorated streets and enjoy the Halloween festivities.
But before long, the pumpkins were laid to rest and costumes tucked away for another year. Halloween has come and gone, and Delta Junction is already looking ahead to its next big seasonal celebration: Thanksgiving, complete with turkey, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and all the trimmings just a few short weeks away.
