Revelstoke truly does embrace the annual Halloween celebration. There were people in costume everywhere you went it seemed on Wednesday — on the rainy city streets and in shops, supermarkets and schools across town.
Here are some of the scenes we photographed, including some young kids wearing costumes lovingly made by their moms and even one grandma. Enjoy:
Meet Brittany and Simon Martin’s son, Jude. He looked so much like Bam Bam from The Flintstones that it made sense that he would dress up as him. Jude loves his outfit and posed with enthusiasm for the picture. Parris Tippe photo
Here’s a great Downunder idea created by Anita Hallewas — a great Kangaroo and Joey costume modeled by her husband Blair and their 11-weekold son, Onyx as Kangaroo and Joey.

Last night she got out the sewing machine and fixed it up for her grandson, David.
