Safe Halloween a haunting good time

Captain Hook, a.k.a. Sammy Larson, 4, made an extraordinary appearance at the Safe Halloween event at the Fallbrook Community Center on October 31.

Nikki Rivera and Brina Chalk, 9, make beautiful medieval maidens while Melanie Zadrozny, 4, is an exceptionally well-coifed Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz.”

Sawyer Alley shows that Batman can co-exist peacefully with Spider-Man.

Tim Shaima, 13, makes an appearance as a Roman archer. Organizers say approximately 1,880 people turned out for the festivities — over 300 more than last year!
