Boo on Bell Street

Looking for something FUN to do on Halloween? Well, Shawnee has it. Every year, they hold Boo on Bell street(events on bell street and main). I've gone to this event with my family in past years, but this year I am the event photographer. I'll be walking around enjoying the festivities and taking photographs for the Safe events for families. www.safeventsforfamilies.org
I will also have my own spot set up on bell street from 3-6pm where I'll be taking photographs of children in their costumes!
More details on my halloween portrait offer for that night, but in the meantime if your just looking for some fun things to do, check all this out(text taken from SEFF website:
