When i was a child, My family and I lived in a housing development that had a lot of children. At Halloween–it was a lot safer back in those days–the management of the development would organize a costume parade. All the children would dress up in their costumes, gather in the middle of the large playground, and start to march around the entire project. People would stand on their porches applauding, laughing and cheering. When we got back to the playground the organizers would then judge the costumes and hand out prizes. After the parade was over, we would go to all the houses and Trick or Treat.

Lincoln Park was a place of fun and excitement for kids of all ages. I remember riding up route 6, anticipating a day of thrills and pleasure, when at a certain point on the road, into view would come the majestic Roller Coaster. My heart would start pounding with joy at the thought that soon I would be riding the Ferris Wheel, crashing on the Bumper Cars and eating cotton candy. Sounds of screams could be heard from the Roller Coaster as it plummeted down that huge first hill would fill the air along with laughter, one could tell people were having a good time. Everywhere you walked in Lincoln Park, people had smiles on their faces.
