Halloween and Carnies
Written by admin on October 31st, 2007 No Comments
There was much talk this year about adding a carnival to the Salem halloween experience. At first the mayor wanted to put it on the common but that idea was shot down by the residents. They ended up putting it on Derby Street in a vacant lot, a great location and a great use of the space.
The carnival consists of about 5 rides and 3 games of skill/chance. It’s way over priced ($4 for a ride on the ferris wheel) and probably a waste of your time. Unless you have kids or want to break your tooth on a candied apple you can avoid this attraction.
In other more exciting news; Today is the Big Day!
If you are still thinking of coming into Salem, take the train. All the parking lots are full already (its 10:30 am). The parade starts at 9 and fireworks are at 10. Salem Insiders know to get a good spot at one of the local watering holes or outside areas to watch the freakshow as it explodes after school and after dark.
Tomorrow we will have a bunch of great photos recapping the madness that is Salem on Halloween.
