Costumed People Pack Collinsville Streets Full of Halloween Spirit

Not far from Avon, energy was high for the 19th Annual Collinsville Halloween Parade Saturday night, especially after the event was canceled last year due to the snowstorm. 

The parade had a little added excitement when the town of Canton Volunteer Fire and EMS Department responded to a small oven fire at LaSalle Market just as it was about to begin. 

Many parade attendees initially thought the department was part of the parade. After a short delay, the event resumed. 

The parade is run by the Collinsville Artists Initiative and includes a march around downtown Collinsville, dance performances, costume judging, candy throwing, live drumming and much more.
