Halloween

Halloween in Fairhaven has been an annual neighborhood tradition in the Bellingham Community. On Oct. 31, 2013 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. retail businesses and restaurants handed out candy and decorated their stores to celebrate the holiday.

It was really fun, said Fabio Mahon, prep cook at Skylark’sHidden Café. The restaurant was filled with Halloween decorations and we all got to wear our costumes and handed out candy to the little kids.

I have been to Fairhaven’s Halloween event for the last three years and each year it seems to get bigger and bigger, said Rita Stragis, employee at Serendipity. My co-worker brought costumes for us to wear and when we saw the toddlers in their costumes scared we would try to bribe them with candy.

People lined up outside of The Fairhaven Pharmacy to get their photo taken by pharmacist Robin Johansen, said Stragis.

At 8 p.m. The Good Time Girls hosted a Halloween party at Skylark’s Hidden Café, said Mahon. The Good Time Girls is a historical walking tour business that was established in 2011. The event cost $30 per person; included food, drinks, a tour and a candle light session with psychic Chuck Crooks.

There were so many dogs dressed in costumes, said Stragis. Next year we will need to hand out dog treats.
