For the second year, my crazy and wonderful crew participated in the Bettendorf Halloween Parade as the “Brooms Are For Amatures Bicycle Coven,” rolling along and tossing candy to all the scariest and sweetest.

Held last Saturday night when it was cccccold, we doned layers under our costumes, filled our bags, charged our lights and hit the streets!

The early arrivals!

The first sect of our coven!

Cat Butler and his beautiful family!

Our cat witch!

Our witch who can wheelie!

Our coven killed it with the candy AND pacing, so much so that many of us had a piece or two left for tossing as we made the final turn into Splash Landing!

Last year we won second place. No news yet on how popular we were this year, but we definitely cast a spell on those crowds!!! Given that we survived such a chilly night, we may have another festive appearance in store next month!!!
