Trick or Treat on Turner Street

sammyOne of the best-loved perks for the children of Turner Broadcasting employees has to be the annual Trick or Treat on Turner Street when the Techwood campus is transformed into a Halloween festival for all the kiddies. There were hundreds of kids and parents on hand for scary festivities created by Turner’s more creative types, as well as a marching parade around the circle in front of the old Mansion (seen in the background at left).  Sam had a grand old time last year in his Tigger costume, and had a blast again yesterday, this time sporting his Red Sox outfit. In this photo gallery, you can see I captured some coworkers and their kids as well. Enjoy.

The leaves are turning, the smell of fireplaces starts to waft through the ‘hood in the evenings, and the days are ending earlier. That can mean only one (well maybe a few) thing – the annual Grant Park Halloween Parade. This year’s version wound through the park rather than on the streets around it. I can see the sense in it (no roads blocked off, a shorter route) but the narrow paths of the park made it slow going for the hundreds of lions, princesses, spidermen, red sox players, red sox fans, totem poles, and countless other costumed participants. In the photo above, Sam and his buddy Sophie flirt on the hillside above the parade ending. See more photos from the event in the slideshow here.
