Last year (haven't had a chance to do this year)

I didn't realize I was plagiarizing someone else's idea. Sorry!
This was at the local Air Force base that hosted a trunk or treat.
Several dozen families had their kids sit inside while taking pics.
We all had a great time.

(From Halloween 2021) I dressed my bus up as a Lego brick for a trunk-or-treat:

As usual, it was too wet this Halloween for some of my other ideas, so the 'skeletons and spiderwebs' standby is in place this year. My neighbors think the bus is pretty scary as it is...

This year Karl drove a bunch of hunters home after they bagged the Portland Elk.
My concept was apparently so obscure that a few life-long Portlanders were puzzled by it.
Having real antlers might have helped but couldn’t find a set for less than 50 bux so sticks and duct tape it is.

Chloe was popular again this year.
Lots of kids wanted pics with her.
