Mike Cudmore, at 8308 Kingfisher Drive, loved Halloween as a kid. He has just as much fun as an adult decorating his house and front lawn for Halloween. This is the fourth year he’s done it, but it was bigger and better than previous years. One child told him his house was the greatest. (Richard McGuire photo)
Many youngsters participated in Trick or Treat Main Street in downtown Osoyoos on Halloween Monday and a lot of adults also joined in the fun.
In the evening, children came to the Sonora Community Centre for Halloween Carnival, which this year featured children’s games, but no haunted house.
Those seeking out a more haunting experience found it at some private homes, such as Mike Cudmore’s home on Kingfisher Drive, where scary creatures covered the entire house and front lawn.

Mike Cudmore is to Halloween what Mat Hassen is to Christmas. Both men go all out decorating their lawns, but for different occasions. Cudmore’s home on Kingfisher Drive attracted many awestruck kids, though some needed a little persuasion from their parents to knock on the door. (Richard McGuire photo)
