STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Kvell Fitness announced its presence on Hailey’s Main Street in a big way with blow-up clowns and jabbering skeletons.

Devoto Gelato and Chef on the Run took advantage of Tuesday’s trick or treating to announce their Grand Opening from 3 to 6 p.m. next to Shorty’s Diner.

And Blaine County departments paraded out scarecrows for holiday revelers to vote on in front of the old Blaine County Courthouse.

Halloween is always a big to-do in the Wood River Valley, and this year’s was no different.

Hailey’s Halloween Hoopla brought out a huge crowd.

“This is what it’s like in the big city,” one father told the young Super Mario at his side as they waited for the light to change on a crowded street corner.

The girls handing out candy at Red Door resembled the Kardashians with three-inch long pink fingernails.

And 9-month-old Westy Fullmer was eye candy enough without a costume as he sat and looked cute in a little red wagon full of “Andy’s Toys.”

As for scary costumes? Look no further than Amelia Anderson of Ya-Ya’s.

“I’m poison ivy,” she said of the green vines crawling down her arms and legs.
