Papa’s World – CONWAY – HALLOWEEN!

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!

PAPA’S WORLD – HALLOWEEN IN CONWAY, S.C.

Papa’s World – Conway, S.C. – the HALLOWEEN CITY!

We took a little trip to Conway – about one-half hour away – we had been there two years ago – only on a Sunday

when all the stores were shut down –

We wanted to revisit when they were open and to our surprise – Conway is known as THE HALLOWEEN CITY!

Everywhere all the trees were decorated as were the stores outside and inside.

The trees seem to have grown pumpkins and as a store owner told my wife – when Hurricane IAN came through – not one pumpkin came down in the rain and winds!

Walking the streets – full of stores and a lot of historic churches.

A beautiful river walk – and a theater with blood coming over the roof and down the front showing the musical “CARRIE”!

Papa’s World – Walking Conway, S.C. Halloween town!

Halloween is big on the main street in Conway – but also in the nearby park – this car is decorated – SPOOKY!

A great deal of decorating went into the entire main street – here is CITY HALL!

Papa and Bob walk along the main street in Conway – all the tees were decorated like this!

Witches’ hats hang over the fountain along the main street!

Everywhere you look along the main street are decorations – even In the storefront displays!

We spent an entire day walking around and found a bar and grill to have lunch!

Papa – Sherry – Pam and Bob – relaxing with a drink and some snacks!

Sherry and the lady on a swing while walking in the park!

These are but a few of the many – many displays – some actually moved when you came upon them.

WALKING CONWAY, S.C. HALLOWEEN TOWN!!!!!

Papa’s World – Walking the neighborhood – SPOOKY !

GOOD MORNING

When we walk – we can take different paths –

some go through our neighbor hoods

And we love those special times of the year

when people tend to decorate !

WELCOME
to
PAPA’S WORLD
walking
for health

Time now is for GHOSTS – GOBLIN’S – WITCHES

and PUMPKIN’S !

The whole works
with a grave yard !

People really get into decorating for all seasons

in our very diverse neighborhoods.

Even Darth Vadar
from STAR WAR’S

There are many different types of decorations

GIANT SPIDERS

There is a lot of effort that goes into some of these !

And of course
from all our childhood or early years
THE GREAT PUMPKIN
CHARLIE BROWN
And then the
really artistic ones
that require imagination
and ability to pull
it all together
My Neighbor Peter
and family
from Serbia

Peter is a giant of a man –

bearded and 6’6

Wife – daughter and son

Always friendly

Lilly – his daughter –

takes care of our flowers

and Tower Gardens

while we are away !

As we walk in the early morning

it is easy to fantasize walking in the dark

only the street lights on from corner to corner

A fog swirling among the trees

and a sign pointing to RIP ROAD –

RIP
What awaits you here ?
It is also a time
of pumpkin spice coffee
pumpkin deserts
and lots of
CANDY

Sherry bought two large bags of Candy

We had over 200 kids last year

and had to shut down early

as we ran out of Candy !

GHOSTS and PUMPKINS
And Monsters
