This celebration has become an annual tradition and a wonderful experience for kids,” said Chuck Taylor, who is organizing the efforts of the North Main Street residents.“Last year, we estimated that over 5,000 people came downtown and enjoyed the experience. There were so many people that many residents ran out of candy.”
