This year some of the business owners got together and set up a little festival for Halloween called Witches of Eastport. Although starting small and being overshadowed by chilly weather with the threat of rain, it went very well. There were pumpkin carving and decorating contests along with a pumpkin cook-off. The smells downtown were delicious. Later there was a pumpkin derby where contestants raced their home-made wheeled pumpkins. That was a lot of fun and everybody enjoyed it. Just before we got a little rain the parade organized at the post office and wound it's way through town. Great fun and we had a slew of witches. There was also a ghost dinner with a real ghost hunter (some of our houses in town are sworn to be haunted). The Waco put on a "by reservation" Ghost Dinner. Although this has started out small, we all remember the first Pirate Festival a few years ago and it wasn't too awfully impressive. Now The Pirate Festival is almost as full blown as the Fourth of July.
