Revelstokians love Halloween! Every year hundreds of people dress up — or down — for the annual festival of good-natured fright to amuse their customers and entertain passersby.
This year was no different — even if I did flub the actual year in the headline, which just goes to show what can happen when you’re tired — as you can see from this selection of photos taken all over town:
Sarah and her daughter Tayah conducted some Halloween business with Cat Bosch at the Revelstoke Credit Union’s insurance services. David F. Rooney photoStevie and Ashley were all about Hogwarts and Harry Potter at Conversations on Thursday. David F. Rooney photoNaturally enough, some of the customers at Conversations were good witches. David F. Rooney photoMeanwhile at Revelstoke Florists, Sheryl Ward had a distinctly Russian look. David F. Rooney photoOoooo, I let the Grim Baker open the door for me at The Modern. That’s a scary look for you Josee! David F. Rooney photoAnd inside The Modern there was a well dressed crew including a Cat Girl, a Giant Peanut, a witch and a homicidal baker. David F. Rooney photoThe only person in costume at Grizzly Books was Miss Marley! David F. Rooney photoThe always friendly staff at CIBC had an Alice in Wonderland theme happening.

Pharmasave was aptly renamed Hui-ville. Staff had a good time fulfilling their Dr. Seuss dreams from Steven as the Cat in the Hat himself to Things One through four and Andrew as Max the dog from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. David F. Rooney photoCheckout at Pharmasave was perfectly comical. David F. Rooney photoOver at the pubic library Zoe Knuff was the perfect Book Fairy, while Lucie Bergeron was a Pumpkin Witch and Kendra Runnalls had a Marie Antoinette thing going on… right down to the guillotine’s bite on her neck. David F. Rooney photoChecking in at the Aquatic Centre? First you had to get by these two witches — Megan MacIsaac and her sister in the dark arts Suzanne Grieve. David F. Rooney photoCheck out at People’s was a delight with Ashly the Fairy managing the till. David F. Rooney photoJodie, Carol, Lindsay and Patti had a good time dressing up at People’s. David F. Rooney photoCindy and Penny were two of the staff in fine form at Cooper’s. David F. Rooney photoTina looks ready to go on the lam at Cooper’s. David F. Rooney photoOver at Southside Grocery , Aaron looks like he was ready to party. David F. Rooney photoSpirit of Halloween was alive and well across town at McDonald’s. David F. Rooney photoAmber and Tiffany were perfectly Dead Brides at Animal House. David F. Rooney photoThis was one of the most original costume sets I saw in town: The Three Blind Mice and The Farmer’s Wife at Home Hardware. Great concept ladies! David F. Rooney photoNikki looks like a tad sad as a wall outlet. Maybe she needs a friendly electrical plug. David F. Rooney photoEven Judy Goodman, the Chamber of Commerce’s irrepressible executive director, got into the Spirit of Halloween with a Sound of Music outfit with support from Keaton the Wheaton. David F. Rooney photoThre were no devils at City Hall, no matter what some people think. There were,however, three angels… Graham’s Angels, in point of fact! David F. Rooney photoAnd over at the Last Drop Captain Frank snuggled up to Kathleen the naughty demonic bartender. David F. Rooney photoHard-working Trevor Wallach sliced open his finger at work the other day and although he didn’t wear a true Halloween costume he managed to gis his bandage a ghostly look. You get the last word there, buddy! David F. Rooney photo
