This past weekend was the annual Athens County Halloween block party. For the block party the city shuts down Court Street (the main street in downtown Athens) from end to end. There are stages set up at main intersections with live bands playing all night. There are also many vendors that set up along the street to sell everything from gyros to burritos. Near evening time all the students and local citizens of Athens and neighboring cities don their best costumes for a leisurely stroll down the street to see others dressed up.

This year a few friends and I dressed up as characters from the movie “Robin Hood Men in Tights”. Yes, this outfit required the wearing of bright green tights.

Early in the day before the festivities started uptown I made a triple batch of my mother’s epically delicious award winning chili. This recipe normally only requires one pound of ground beef, I used closer to three and a half pounds, so you can imagine the amount of chili that was consumed by Robin Hood and his merry men.

Other friends were also present for the dinner with costumes ranging from Loofas (the shower things) to witches, Bob Ross the painter, and even Batman graced us with his presence. Overall it was a great Halloween weekend with no rain and not too cold of weather.
