Westside Story – Trick or Treat

Joseph Boyle · October 30, 2015 · ·

Hey everybody, I have included two fun photos of scenes I found in our community. I share them with you as a reminder that Saturday, October 31, 2015, is Halloween. Kids will be roaming all over our community looking for Halloween treats. I know you know that. You also know to be extra careful when driving so as to not run over a trick or treater. Hitting a child with a car will ruin our days for a long time to come, regardless of who’s fault the collision might be.

Having investigated injury and fatality collisions, I feel compelled to remind you just one more time.

One of our Lakewood neighbors, Dan & Catherine Holder, are building a hand made plywood pumpkin patch, which is a family tradition. They hope to beat the family record of 100 pumpkins.

The Wicked Witch of the West was foiled by a Lakewood neighbor’s sprinkler system.
