HCS Abuzz With Costume Capers!

Not even a sporadic, cold rain could dampen the spirits of the HCS elementary school kids who strolled through the village Friday afternoon in the annual fall costume parade.

Neither could that precipitation dampen the enthusiasm (despite drenching the wings) wings of the squadron of black and yellow striped bees (all resembling elementary school teachers and others) or HCS elementary school principal Kevin Ellis who appears to have been moonlighting as a beekeeper.

Costumed kindergartners rode in a wagon hitched to a tractor driven by Dave Crumb; or was that Capt. Jack Sparrow? They were followed on a loop through the village by several werewolves, a couple of clowns, a skunk, an Eli Manning lookalike, several princesses, enough ninjas to take over a small fortress, Dorothy with a stuffed Toto and many others. A highlight of the parade were three young men who did rather striking impersonations of 1980s/90s TV uber-geek Steve Urkel.

Even several members of the HCS marching band were in costume ... or the band is trying out radically new uniforms.
