Okay, after the Columbus trip, it was time to get our festive hats on and enjoy some spooky Halloween time with friends and family at Northville, MI.
Halloween had always intrigued me a little as when I was in India, I didn’t understand why people would dress up as someone else to celebrate something. And, not many years later, here I was, participating in the same celebrations! 😀
For this celebration, I needed a costume and my friend, Bhaskar, helped me by lending his Wolf Mask for the occasion. He was traveling out of town, so he was kind enough to let me use it for a day or two.
The plan was to don the wolf mask during the office and Northville Halloween celebrations. I worked at Ford Motor Company during this time and we had recently moved to a new campus in Downtown Dearborn. The place was buzzing with energy and there was no other place in the Downtown area rather than my workplace to celebrate the Halloween. The team had put together a really nice display of Halloween celebration with lovely food. I had donned my wolf mask and stood in line to get some lunch. It was fun to get heads turned in my direction every time someone was walking past me. I loved that feeling.
After work, it was time to head to Northville to celebrate Halloween with Manju, Monika, Anupam, and kids – Aryan and Arnav.
Kids had decided to dress up like transformers and they looked as cute as ever in those outfits. I had my same wolf mask on and as it was cold, had put on my red light jacket. It was a fitting output that I had put on as I had dressed up a werewolf with a jacket on. I was glad at least a couple people from the crowd got the thought process behind the outfit.
The area of Downtown Northville was lit up with some of the amazing Halloween decorations and I was astonished to see hundreds of people in the streets of Downtown Northville to celebrate this together. Kids went from one house to another to fetch their beloved candies and the fire truck station had put on display for kids to look at and some popcorns, which kids devoured.
All in all, it was a fun way to celebrate Halloween together! 🙂
