OLD LYME — It was another ‘Happy Halloween’ on Lyme Street last night and a welcome break from the rancors of the current election. The overall impression that people seemed are reporting is that the Trick or Treaters were well-behaved and overwhelmingly polite and respectful. Kudos to the parents or care-givers that raised them and … well done, kids!

These two adorable little girls were out and about on the hunt for treats. Mermaid Cecilia Girasoli (right) was certainly happy to see her pre-K classmate, Fairy Lilly, on Halloween Night!

There were witches and wizards, Pikachus and Charizards, monsters and mermaids, and multiple creative characters!

Decorations abound on Lyme Street, adding to its popularity with trick-or-treaters.

Houses were decorated, smiles were everywhere, and it was another wonderful, warm-ish night.

Too many choices for this Little Mermaid … what to choose when you can only pick two?!

Huge thanks to our photographer, Michele Dickey, who really captured the spirit of the evening.

‘Thrills & Chills’ succinctly summed up the great night.
