    Eye on EP: Halloween

    Spooky Sunday costumes make Friday night debut
    Jeff StrateBy Jeff StrateOctober 30, 2021Updated:October 30, 20212 Mins Read

    The haunted night calls of barred owls in the Summerhill Drive neighborhood were joined early Friday evening, Oct. 29, by costumed kids and their parents. Halloween falls on Sunday this year, but the families on this north-central Eden Prairie street were not waiting.

    They called their block party a “Neighborhood Halloween Bash.” It was. Out came the potluck dishes, the pizzas, the soda, the treats, the games, the chats and the kids. Temporary traffic barriers, a portable fire pit and food tables were set up on the street.

    An Eden Prairie Local News photographer walking on Summerhill Drive at about 6 p.m. noticed the party. He liked what he saw and snapped a few photos.

    A unicorn, a skeleton, a joker and something yellow were spotted by the EPLN photographer. The pizza and snack table were busy. Photos by Jeff Strate

    Deanna Chasteen, fitted with a black robe and matching mask and a silver fright wig, arrived with a tray of some kind of delectable hidden by tin foil.
    Ben Ferreira and Morgen Miccum were not scary; they were simply impressive.
