For Halloween evening we had learned of a Chili cookoff/Halloween festival at a small town not too far from the park. Unfortunately it rained most of the morning/early afternoon and we found out the festival was being postponed until Sat. Well... We were leaving on Friday, so that would not do.
We decided to head down to Pikesville at the foot of the mountain and see what we could find. After driving around the town (it's pretty small) we did see a sign at one of the churches and did run across a few trick or treaters.
We spotted a likely family so Susan jumped out and did her Gigi thing, asking the mother if she and the dear princess could tag along. Fortunately she must have had the appropriate "I'm an out of town tourist" look as the mother ok'd the tag along. Turns out we hooked up with a local family who knew their way around and they took good care of the princess and her fairy god Gigi. We ended up the trick night at the church where the kids were lined up in the gym passing by about a dozen or so candy stations.
A marginal night turned out to be better than we could have hoped for thanks to some friendly Pikeville folks and a wonderful Gigi looking out for her princess.
