Sierra Madre Halloween  2008  This is our tenth year covering Halloween in Sierra Madre.  You can use the links below to take a look back in time.  I'll be adding links to this year's events over the next couple days, so be sure to check back.  So far, I've got the Halloween window painting pictures (with a list of the winners), the downtown merchant trick or treating, the City's Costume Parade, and pictures of the Switzer house pumpkins posted.  But I attended all the events this year, and shot 445 photo and video files.  So give me a couple days to get it all done.  Enjoy.  If you would like a high resolution version of these images or a print of any of the images, that can be arranged.  Contact me here.
