Everyone was super friendly, circulating throughout and giving props on folks posters/costumes, smiling. My husband put his old "American Horror Story" t-shirt on a cross and it was a hit. It had a picture of a zombified tsf with skin more grey than orange, grey and light hair and all covered in dirt with his skin slumping! He had more than 40 people ask him for a picture, he absolutely loved it. LOL.

I'm guessing there were around 1000 people there throughout the day and it was wonderful! It fed my soul so much and gave me a feeling of belonging here which I normally don't have.

Sorry I'm not up on how to post pictures now that a hosting site is needed. But do know the people here showed up and took a stand.
It was fun joining the street line for awhile too!! We got lots of honks!
