Halloween in Avondale Estates

November 1, 2007

This year we went out with our daughter, her husband and our granddaughter to trick or treat in Avondale Estates. Avondale Estates is a small city/neighborhood located just east of Decatur, inside the perimeter. It has its own mayor and police force and the police were directing traffic.

I have never seen anything like it. Virtually every house was decorated, and the main roads were closed to traffic. There were literally thousands of kids and parents wandering the neighborhood. It looked like kids were coming by the busload from other areas. Most houses with big decor had 30-50 kids on the porch and some were even decorated on the inside like haunted houses. The haunted houses had lines of people going through and must have given away hundreds of pounds of candy. We were completely amazed, we had heard it was big but really had no idea!
