Photos: Trunk or Treat and Halloween Costume Contest at the Broadway Market

What a great weekend I had in the neighborhood!!!

I had the privilege of participating in the Hope Center’s trunk or treat event on Friday evening and emceeing the Broadway Market’s annual Halloween contest on Saturday.

The Hope Center’s trunk or treat event was incredible.  In just one year, the event has nearly tripled in size!!!  It is a testament to the good work the Hope Center does for the neighborhood.  I brought nearly 200 pieces of candy and I ran out! Running the event in the shadow of the Central Terminal makes it special.

Next year, I am going to have to up what I did with my trunk cuz some folks put together some very awesome displays.

The Broadway Market…a totally different experience and a totally different place than the Hope Center.  But equal in its importance to the Broadway-Fillmore community.  The contest gave a lot of kids an opportunity to participate in an event that they wouldn’t be able to if the Market wasn’t there.

I loved both!!!
