Another Happy Halloween on Lyme Street

These bony fellows welcomed trick-or-treaters to a house on Lyme Street. All photos by Michele Dickey.

OLD LYME—It was a great Halloween night on Lyme Street yesterday. The weather cooperated and smiling, sometimes scary, faces were everywhere. Community spirit filled the air and all the tension and tribulations of next Tuesday’s election were left at home.

Enjoy our photo essay of the evening. Huge thanks to our in-town photographer Michele Dickey for being there on the street to capture the fun.

We will add more of her terrific photos later today.

Tombstones greeted visitors to the Old Lyme Historical Society.
Not someone you really wanted to meet in the dark on a scary night!
Sitting on the steps and ready with candy.
Thing 1, aka Old Lyme First Selectman candidate John Mesham, (R) stood alert while …
… Thing 2, aka incumbent Selectman candidate Jude Read (R), handed out treats.
A chicken strutted his stuff …
… while others, despite looking slightly scary, smiled cheerfully.
And it all happened under this beautiful night sky.
