East Aldine District sponsored a community Halloween “Spook-tacular” that safely brought treats and costumes to neighborhoods and kids around the Aldine area.

The Candy & Costume Caravan started 10 a.m. at the East Aldine Town Center, and for four hours wound its way through the residential neighborhoods, where families lined the streets waiting for the fun and decorated autos and vans to pass by. The Caravan ended the trip at James Drive Park on Bentley.

Participating in the Caravan were groups and businesses, including the East Aldine District, Lone Star College, Aldine ISD, civic clubs, the Boy Scouts, BakerRipley, and Avalos P-Tech, as well as many individuals.

Cars in the parade included State Representative Armando Walle, Pct. 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia staff, Green Forest Civic Club, Hope Clinic, and others.
