Several brave, haunted souls gathered on Broadway Saturday night to compete in the first ever Procession of Lost Souls costume contest with prizes from local merchants and entrants ranging from scarecrows (we weren’t offended) to Alvin and the Chip-Monks (we were a little offended. by the cheesy pun.) There was no category for best Gore-tex Halloween costume.

The fun (and rain! UPDATE: Latest forecast looks like things will be cloudy and cool but mostly dry through afternoon and evening before rain returns late tonight.) doesn’t stop Sunday as the little ones take a turn in a costume parade through Cal Anderson Park. The Creepy Crawl starts at 3 PM. Add that to the Hill’s typical non-chamber of commerce Halloween goodness and you’re talking about good times. Looking for a place to trick or treat on the Hill, check out our CHS Halloween 2010 guide.

First Annual Creepy Crawl, a Halloween Kid’s Parade to be held at Capitol Hill’s Cal Anderson Park on Sunday, October 31, 3pm.

Capitol Hill will celebrate Halloween in style this year with a Haunted House, a Halloween Parade, Silent Horror Movies and the First annual Creepy Crawl, a Halloween Costume Parade for kids!  The parade begins at 3pm at the shelter house in Cal Anderson Park, from where the little boos and ghouls will march around the reservoir area of the Park.  The parade will be led off by Cameron Mason’s inflatable Bad Hairy, a puppet with severe hair issues.  Molly Moon’s ice cream truck will be nearby to provide treats for all sweet teeth.  And Broadway merchants will be ready with goodies for the trick or treaters.
