Stauffer Avenue’s Major Elf
Major Elf Making Sure Everything Stays Equal
It’s that time of the year when spooks and black cats are about looking for tricks or treats. Dennis is on top of it. With the smaller grandchildren and great grandchildren finding their way to Stauffer Avenue, Major Elf has to be prepared. It wasn’t that many years ago that we would have anywhere from 30 – 40 kids stop at our home. In the recent years the city has proclaimed a Halloween celebration all along main street from three in the afternoon until five – or until the procession of children is done. Starting at city hall the mayor leads them up each side of main street complete with a police chaperon. With all the businesses handing out treats the door to door traffic has been pretty much zero.
Dennis and I still make up bags of treats for our wee ones and we get to see first hand their great costumes. No one has more fun than Grandpa Dennis making sure all stays equal. Is it a bit early to get the bags ready? Each kind must be sampled to make sure they are as good as the label has stated. If the sampling gets out of control we know where to get more. Ya gotta love Stauffer Avenue’s Major Elf.
