A Halloween Tradition
October 28th, 2008 categories: Just For Fun, Prescott Homeowners

Historic Mount Vernon Street is a Halloween tradition in Prescott. Trick-or-treaters started flocking to the beautiful tree lined street nearly 30 years ago, and today Mount Vernon residents can see more than 1,000 costumed kids at their door.
The tradition began at the home of Mary Jane and Al Smith located at the corner of Mount Vernon and Goodwin Street. In the 1970s, they started creating an elaborate wake-themed indoor display with skeletons and coffins. More and more neighbors began joining in and word got around town that Mount Vernon was the place to go
on
October 31st.
For the second year in a row, the Prescott Police Department will close off a large portion of Mount Vernon Street between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Come and Join the fun!
