Halloween event spotlight: Monday's downtown Treat Parade
For the past 10 years, downtown Ann Arbor merchants have offered goodies for young trick-or-treaters around Halloween.
This year's event is slated for 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday throughout the Main Street area. The event is sponsored by the Main Street Area Association.
Participating businesses will fly black and orange balloons outside their establishments so it's easy to see where the goodies are.
In conjunction with the event, the Ann Arbor District Library is hosting two Halloween parties at its downtown location.
And also, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday, AnnArbor.com photographers will be taking photos of kids in costume in our Community Space, on the first floor at 301 E. Liberty (at the corner of Fifth Avenue). We'll be offering candy as well, and the photos will become part of an online photo gallery on Tuesday. Full details are here.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band's first top ten hit was 1976's "Night Moves." Recorded in Toronto with producer Jack Richardson, the track was a last-minute addition to an otherwise forgettable session. Rockaeology at <a href="http://bit.ly/jimE4R" rel='nofollow'>http://bit.ly/jimE4R</a> has the story of how a Bruce Springsteen track became the inspiration for the song's signature changes in tempo.

Looks like a fun downtown visit for trick and treaters. Also, on Sunday, The Sunday Artisan Market, located at the Farmers Market on Detroit St. will be hosting their Halloween Party with a scavenger hunt throughout the market, an activity table where children can decorate a pumpkin, make a ghost and a book marker. A costume parade at 1 p.m. with trick and treating. Starts at 12:30 a.m.
