Neighbors from throughout Franklin Square and West Hempstead gathered on Nassau Boulevard in West Hempstead to take part in the Community League of Garden City South Ragamuffin Parade.

The event was hosted by the Community League of Garden City South in partnership with the Garden City South/West Hempstead Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 325.

Children in sixth grade and younger were invited to put on their best Halloween costumes to march in the annual parade festivities last weekend.

Volunteers passed out good bags to attendees, courtesy of TNT Liquidators. Kids also took home pumpkins to decorate or carve ahead of the spooky Thursday holiday.
