My daughter has outgrown the age where Halloween costumes double as dress-up clothes for the rest of the year. Am I the only one who is looking for every opportunity available for her to wear her costume this week? Luckily, there are plenty of safe, kid-friendly events going on all week long so I can feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of her costume. Events are for all ages, unless otherwise indicated.
