Chelsea, OK

Chelsea Oklahoma is the best place on earth to be at Halloween. Chelsea is a small friendly town on "Route 66″. Everyone pretty much knows each other. The community spirit is unbeatable. On Halloween most of the shopowners on mainstreet set up trick or treat stands outside their shops and residents bring sacks of candy and lounge chairs and tables and set up all along both sides of the street. By the time the trick or treaters start making their rounds there will be no space left between folks giving out goodies. There will be cars and trucks pulled up with their trunks and beds decorated and filled with treats. There are always 1 or 2 shops that go all out and decorate with witches and caldrons and give away spider shaped cookies, pretzel skeletons, marshmallow ghosts and ghoolish homemade sweets. Every child is welcome and they come decorated as everything from aliens to princesses. It is a blast and goes on for hours. The police and fireman set up in the middle of the street. So here is the whole town gathered together in the spirit of giving and laughing and sharing. If you've nothing to do this Halloween put on your best costume and take a spin down Route 66 to Chelsea Oklahoma where you can eat a spider, drink some cider and not be an outsider. You'll feel right at home.
