Conway, S.C.-

has the distinction of being the HALLOWEEN CAPITAL OF THE USA!

They go all out decorating the entire city!

And it draws the tourist in for shopping –

sightseeing and bar and grills!

Along the path to the beginning –

of the River Walk –

But it started to rain –

so we took shelter in a restaurant and had a drink!

If you go – do so early before the shops close at 5pm.

But stay after dark-

as all the lights come on in the trees –

with pumpkins hanging from them!

Thousands and thousands of lights-

and pumpkins adorn the huge oak trees!

Everywhere you look are decorations –

storefronts – alleys and side streets.

The riverwalk has many more-

but we decided not to walk in the rain.

Papa and my youngest son Shawn sitting –

just taking in all the large automated giant figures!

This one was twice as tall as we were!

Here you see Sherry-

this one was not as tall as the others!

The town officially opens its Halloween season on October first –

But we were there about a week before that-

and while they still were decorating –

All the storefronts seemed to be done!

It must take weeks to hang all the pumpkins –

and sting the lights!

I want to thank my daughter-in-law Trisha and my son Shawn –

for agreeing to come with us!

Spending time with them is priceless!
